EDITORS COMMENTS
Who needs a fishing rod when you've got a supermarket nearby? This resourceful grey heron knows how to make the most of urban living in Greater Manchester! Standing gracefully on ice, it confidently feasts on fish bought by visitors from the local supermarket. Talk about convenient dining! In this stunning capture by Terry Whittaker for 2020VISION, we witness the harmonious blend of nature and human activity at Reddish Vale Country Park. The heron's rear view showcases its elegant silhouette against the icy backdrop, creating a picture-perfect winter scene. With bridges spanning over tranquil lakes and an abundance of wildlife reserves, England truly offers a haven for creatures like our clever heron. Its behavior is both fascinating and comical as it takes advantage of modern amenities while maintaining its wild instincts. This photo invites us to appreciate the unexpected encounters that can occur in our everyday surroundings. It serves as a reminder that even amidst bustling cities, remarkable moments of harmony between humans and nature can be found. So next time you visit your local supermarket or take a stroll through an urban park, keep your eyes peeled for extraordinary sights like this one – where else would you find such a fashionable bird enjoying its store-bought feast?
