Such a great expression... demure refinement, or something like that. Thanks for sharing.

Re: Demoiselle Crane - A graceful bird
Great looking bird. In the first picture it looks like you cut her closing her third eyelid. Birds have three eyelids – one upper, one lower and a nictitating membrane. The third is between the two other eyelids and the cornea and moves sideways. It is used in cleaning and protecting the eye. A good trio.

Hello, Louise. Yes, you're right. She was in the middle of a blink! And thanks for the eyelids explanation. I confess I did not know that. Cheers!
