EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of urban wildlife in an unexpected setting. The vantage point offered by Alun Bull's lens reveals a fascinating detail above the entrance to Parkway Cinema, located on Eldon Street in Barnsley, South Yorkshire. At fourth-floor level, a row of windows adorned with brick and concrete frames catches our attention. However, it is not the architectural elements that steal the spotlight; rather, it is the peculiar sight of feral pigeons perched gracefully on the overhanging lintel. In this snapshot frozen in time, we witness nature seamlessly blending into an urban landscape. These resilient birds have found solace amidst bustling city life and transformed this ledge into their own personal sanctuary. Their presence adds a touch of whimsy to an otherwise ordinary scene. Alun Bull's keen eye for detail allows us to appreciate both the beauty of these creatures and their ability to adapt within our man-made environment. This photograph serves as a reminder that even amidst towering buildings and busy streets, nature finds its way through cracks and crevices. As we gaze at this image captured by Historic England's talented photographer, we are reminded that there is always room for coexistence between humans and wildlife – even in unexpected places like above a cinema entrance.
