Caught in the Act - Scotland's Elusive Corncrake Strikes a Pose!
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this stunning snapshot captured by wildlife photographer Hugh Clark, we witness a rare sighting of the elusive Corncrake (Crex crex) amidst its natural habitat on North Uist, one of the enchanting Outer Hebrides islands. With its vibrant plumage blending seamlessly into the lush green grasses, this adult bird stands tall and proud, embodying the spirit of Scottish nature at its finest. Known for their secretive nature and distinct raspy call resembling a corn-raking sound, these fascinating creatures are like hidden gems within Britain's wildlife tapestry. This particular Corncrake seems to have momentarily abandoned its shyness as it strikes an elegant pose for our viewing pleasure. As spring breathes new life into the temperate European landscape, this vulnerable species migrates from Africa to grace us with their presence. The British Isles become their temporary sanctuary during May when they embark on breeding season rituals. With every feather meticulously detailed in FLPA's high-quality print, you can almost feel the gentle breeze rustling through those magnificent wings. So hang this image proudly on your wall and let it transport you to Scotland's untamed beauty—a reminder that even in our modern world, there are still pockets where wild wonders thrive undisturbed.
