EDITORS COMMENTS
Talk about a grave situation! This Spotted Flycatcher has found the perfect perch in a Warwickshire churchyard. With its sleek feathers and keen eyes, this adult passerine is on high alert for any flying insects that dare to cross its path. Who needs a fancy birdhouse when you have a gravestone? This feathery visitor seems right at home amidst the headstones and graveyards of England's countryside. Perhaps it's enjoying the peaceful ambiance or simply paying respects to its fallen insect comrades. Either way, this fly catcher knows how to make the most out of an unusual setting. Warwickshire's summer brings not only warm weather but also an abundance of wildlife like this European songbird. Its melodious chirps fill the air as it flits from one gravestone to another, showcasing nature's harmonious symphony even in unexpected places. As we admire this stunning print captured by Mike Lane, let us appreciate both the beauty and quirkiness of our natural world. From picturesque landscapes to unconventional perches, there is always something fascinating waiting to be discovered – even in a graveyard! So next time you visit a cemetery, keep your eyes peeled for more than just tombstones; you might just spot some feathered friends making their own unique mark on history.
