EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this enchanting snapshot captured by Richard Steel, we witness the captivating beauty of nature's collaboration. A vibrant Fieldfare, known scientifically as Turdus pilaris, gracefully perches on a branch of a Rowan tree (Sorbus aucuparia) in Clwyd, Wales. The scene is adorned with clusters of luscious red berries that add an extra touch of allure to this winter wonderland. But here's where it gets truly fascinating! Did you know that the Rowan tree was once called fid na ndruad? Yes, that's right - its ancient Celtic name translates to "wizard tree". Legend has it that these mystical trees were believed to possess magical powers and were often associated with druids and sorcery. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing image, let our imagination take flight. Perhaps this delightful Fieldfare has sought refuge on the wizard tree for some secret avian incantations or whispered spells amidst the chilly November breeze. Or maybe it simply appreciates the bountiful feast provided by those juicy scarlet berries. Regardless of what brought them together, one thing is certain – nature never ceases to amaze us with its whimsical tales and breathtaking displays. So let us revel in this momentary glimpse into the hidden world of birds and plants while cherishing our own connection to the wonders around us.
