Poor bastard, don't think he was a smoker but evidence is evidence.

Hi Andy
Can you elaborate?
Why bastard?
Why smoker?
Did he die because of fire?

Hi Nicolas, poor bastard is a turn of phrase and poor? Well he is dead.
Smoker? Cigarette butts right by his beak.
He was very recently deceased, no rigor mortis and sadly his mate was nearby making very distressed sounds.

Good catch Andy. Noticing the details that make an interesting story

Thanks Andy
I asked because in French batard is close to be an insult…
As for the smoker, sorry I didn't see the cigarette butts, they were too obvious!
Good shot, poor guy (and mate) these birds do live "married" all their life (no divorce!)
