Amaurornis phoenicurus

A tall wall stands in a peaceful environment next to a coconut tree. A beautiful dove bird is wandering alone on that wall. Its small body, soft feathers and restless eyes are looking around as if searching for something. Sometimes it stands balanced on its wings, and sometimes it jumps forward. Seeing its presence, I immediately picked up my mobile and started taking photos. I was zooming in and photographing it from a distance because such birds stay far away from people. The sun coming through the gaps in the leaves of some trees has created a shadow pattern on the wall, and the small shadow of the dove bird is also becoming clear with that light. The presence of the bird in the sweet smell of the leaves on the tree branches has made the whole scene more alive. When a light breeze blows, the bird sometimes raises its head and looks around, as if it is guarding its kingdom. Even though it is moving around on the wall, the dove bird's posture and natural movements reveal a kind of calm beauty. The scene is like a silent poem in a village courtyard, where a coconut tree, a wall, and a douk bird combine to create a simple yet beautiful natural moment. I was just fascinated, taking photos of it, and thinking about such a beautiful bird.
