A Blue Orpington rooster with smooth slate-blue plumage in a belted stone-coloured trench coat, standing upright in an empty Victorian bandstand in a park during a thunderstorm, rain falling past the green iron columns, lightning over the trees and empty striped deckchairs on the wet lawn, a closed umbrella leaning on the rail
