EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this snapshot captured by Terry Whittaker, we witness a heated showdown on the icy grounds of Reddish Vale Country Park.

The frozen River Tame provides a dramatic backdrop as these majestic birds engage in a fierce display of flapping wings and sharp beaks. As reflections dance upon the icy surface beneath them, one can't help but marvel at the resilience and adaptability of wildlife within our bustling cities.

Now featured as part of the renowned 2020VISION Exhibition, it serves as a reminder that nature's wonders are never far away – even when surrounded by towering buildings and busy streets.
