EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this delightful snapshot captured by Don Hadden, we witness a male Shoveler bird indulging in some serious self-care. With its vibrant plumage shimmering under the Belgian sun, this dapper drake takes center stage as he preens himself with utmost finesse. Perched gracefully amidst the tranquil waters of Het Zwin Nature Reserve near Knokke, Belgium, our feathery friend seems to be on a mission to achieve perfection. His meticulous grooming routine showcases his dedication to maintaining impeccable hygiene and flaunting his stunning feathers. As water droplets dance around him like tiny diamonds, it's hard not to admire the sheer elegance and grace exuded by this wildfowl. Each stroke of his beak through those lustrous feathers is an art form in itself - a symphony of nature's beauty unfolding before our eyes. With every dip into the crystal-clear water, our feathered protagonist effortlessly transforms into a vision straight out of an avian fashion magazine. The harmonious blend of earthy browns and striking blues adorning his body is truly awe-inspiring. Don Hadden has masterfully captured this enchanting moment where nature meets style at its finest. So let us all take inspiration from this fabulous fowl and remember that even in the wildest corners of Europe, there's always time for a little pampering session!
