It seems to be totally engrossed in the grooming of the plumage. Great moment you wonderfully captured here. Love your perfect play of clarity and softness.
You have elevated this bird to a new level for me capturing him here with such detail and against a glowing backdrop. Here at my home, his choice of perch is directly above our car which becomes his toilet, and causes us ongoing aggravation. We use the French word toilette - to describe grooming. Toilet has a different connotation. I thought you would be interested. You know - I always appreciate your photography and your words.
@helenhall Thank you very much for your kind comment and the reference to the terms "toilet" and "toilette". I take Linguee to help with translations. There are examples that put a word into context. Both "toilet" and "toilette" are used for my purpose, "toilet" most often. dict.cc translates as "morning toilet". Apparently, this information is incorrect.
I am very happy if you help me with the right choice of words. Thank you very much, dear Helen!
