EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this snapshot captured by Dave Kilbey, we are transported to the enchanting world of North Uist in the Outer Hebrides. As the sun begins to paint streaks of gold across the Atlantic Ocean, a rare sight awaits us - an adult male Corncrake calling out with all its might. With his beak wide open and mouth agape, this feathered crofter serenades the early morning hours with his distinctive "crexing" song. It's as if he's announcing to all who can hear that spring has arrived on these picturesque Scottish islands. Perched amidst lush greenery and surrounded by nature's symphony, our avian maestro proudly defends his territory. His single-minded determination echoes through highlands and lowlands alike, ensuring no intruder dares challenge his reign. As we marvel at this remarkable display of communication in action, it becomes clear why corncrakes are such treasured inhabitants of these lands. Their elusive presence adds a touch of magic to every corner they grace. So let us celebrate this delightful moment frozen in time - a testament to both wildlife resilience and Mother Nature's artistic prowess. May it serve as a reminder that even within our busy lives, there is always room for appreciation and wonderment at Earth's natural wonders.
