EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this snapshot captured by Duncan Usher, we witness a truly remarkable moment of nature's dining extravaganza. The Great Spotted Cuckoo, known for its cunning behavior and impeccable taste, proudly displays its latest culinary conquest – a plump caterpillar dangling from its beak. Nestled within the picturesque Herdade de Sao Marcos Great Bustard Reserve and National Park in Alentejo, Portugal, this European beauty showcases both elegance and resourcefulness. With feathers ruffled just so, it effortlessly balances the delicate morsel between its slender bill. As our feathered friend savors every bite with gusto, one can't help but marvel at the intricate dance of predator versus prey unfolding before our eyes. The vibrant green caterpillar unwittingly becomes part of this avian feast as it provides nourishment to fuel flight and survival. This enchanting scene serves as a reminder that even amidst vast landscapes and protected wildernesses like Castro Verde Township, wildlife continues to thrive. It is an ode to the resilience of these magnificent creatures who call Portugal home. So next time you stumble upon Duncan Usher's stunning print on display, take a moment to appreciate not only the artistry behind it but also the untamed wonders that exist beyond our human realm. After all, who knew that such tiny larvae could bring such joy to both birdwatchers and cuckoos alike?
