@bbharrell.bsky.social it was taken in Drogheda, a town on the east coast of Ireland, just north of Dublin and south of the border. The sculpture itself is a bird from the sides but a woman head on. You can see it in photo below (of a litter pick up event)

This is not a bird!

Okay I am cheating on the letter A, as I'm not really sure if these terns are in fact Artic Terns, but they might be!

Swallow just as it lands on an overhead wire, still tucking in its wing and tail feathers.

"Egret between a rock and a hardplace"- almost two sayings for one!

Black guillemot jumping into the #Irish #sea.

Who would know,
And why would you care?
Moving hither, wither, where;
Flitting, fleeting for here to there.

Before the time and after when,
Between the spaces
Of now and then.
Never stationed.
A whirl in the flux.
See me best at dawn and dusk

A mallard duck out of the water and very much resting. I love his curly tail.

To infinity and beyond!
