EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Sam Yeh, we are transported to a serene park in Taipei where the delicate beauty of nature unfolds before our eyes. The focal point of the image is a female black-naped monarch, Hypothymis azurea oberholseri, as she tenderly feeds her baby at their nest. The male black-naped monarch stands out with its vibrant colors and striking features. Measuring approximately 16 cms long (6.2 inches), it boasts a mesmerizing pale azure blue plumage that contrasts beautifully against its whitish lower belly. Its distinguished appearance is further enhanced by a black nape and a narrow black gorget. On the other hand, the female exudes subtlety with her muted tones and lack of distinct markings compared to her male counterpart. Together, they create an enchanting scene that showcases both the diversity and harmony within avian life. Sam Yeh's keen eye for detail allows us to appreciate these magnificent creatures up close while reminding us of the importance of preserving their natural habitats. This awe-inspiring photograph serves as a gentle reminder that even amidst bustling cityscapes like Taipei, there exists pockets of tranquility where wildlife thrives. This AFP print not only captures an intimate moment between mother and child but also invites us to marvel at the wonders found in our own backyards when we take time to observe and appreciate them fully.
