This is not a statue.
It’s a grey heron sunbathing with his wings in a circle to catch the maximum rays.
Grey herons look a lot like our great blue herons though they live in Europe and Asia. Steve Valasek took this picture in Ireland.
Love those wings!

Simply . . . WOW
I sent this post to my daughter, whose hilarious reply was “Nature’s Satellite Dish Network. I think I’ll subscribe.” It seems a perfect description!
I’ve seen yellow-crowned night herons doing this. It is very interesting to see.
