User's notes
The adult bird was sitting reasonably still, there was no sign it was drying its plumage. It did keep looking around but did not appear to want to fly off. After I had been watching the adult for a while a juvenile bird flew to the same tree. It may have been feeding as it started drying its wings or maybe it was just trying to sun itself. it was also looking around but seemed to be contented on the branch.
