Crossing
No, not the road.
This large Cockerel was strutting around Brownsea Island, in Poole Harbour, Dorset.
The sun shining on him showed all his lovely colours.
So, why did the Chicken cross the road???
To see Gregory Peck. Boom Boom. LOL
Thank you for looking.
Hope you like it.

Great chubby chuck – almost looks like a model for a pottery figure (but not Poole!)
