EDITORS COMMENTS
Father of the Year: This Northern Wheatear dad knows how to keep his little ones well-fed! With a proud breeding plumage and a tasty moth in his beak, he perches on a metal gate at Sumburgh Head RSPB Reserve, ready to feed his hungry juvenile. These adorable European chicks are lucky to have such a dedicated Scottish father who goes above and beyond for their meals. In this heartwarming scene captured by photographer Paul Sawer, we witness the beautiful bond between parent and child in the wild. As summer fills the air on Mainland, Shetland Islands, this avian family enjoys their time together amidst breathtaking scenery. The adult male Wheatear's vibrant plumage stands out against the rustic backdrop of the metal gate. His careful feeding behavior showcases both his nurturing instincts and impressive hunting skills. It's no wonder these birds are known for their excellent insect-catching abilities! From Asia to Britain, these charming songbirds have made quite an impression with their playful antics and melodious tunes. And as they continue to explore new territories across North America and Europe, we can't help but admire these feathered fathers who provide for their young with unwavering dedication. So let's raise our wings in salute to all devoted dads out there – whether human or avian – who go above and beyond to ensure their little ones' happiness!
