EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this print captured by FLPA/Neil Bowman, we witness an adult Taiwan Blue Magpie seeking refuge from a sudden downpour on a house balcony. As raindrops cascade around it, the clever bird takes advantage of its urban surroundings and finds solace in this makeshift shelter. With its vibrant blue feathers contrasting against the wet backdrop, this formosan endemic species showcases both beauty and resilience. Found exclusively on the island of Taiwan, these magpies are no strangers to unpredictable weather patterns. Their ability to adapt and find sanctuary amidst bustling cityscapes is truly remarkable. As rain continues to pour over the tropical landscape, our feathered friend stands tall on that balcony – a symbol of nature's determination in even the most unexpected places. Its presence reminds us that sometimes all we need is a little creativity to make ourselves comfortable during life's storms. So next time you find yourself caught in a drizzle or downpour, take inspiration from this resourceful Taiwanese avian resident. Seek out your own unique shelter – be it physical or metaphorical – and remember that with a touch of ingenuity, you can weather any storm that comes your way!
