Crane-ception - When a young Common Crane lands in its very own fox-proof runway!
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this photo, we witness the remarkable moment when a recently released young Common Crane gracefully touches down within its specially designed enclosure on the Somerset Levels in England. The scene is nothing short of extraordinary as this magnificent bird, part of the Great Crane Project's reintroduction efforts, finds itself safely landing within a fox-proof sanctuary. With feathers outstretched and wings elegantly poised, our feathered friend seems to be saying, "Look at me! I've got my own private landing strip!". It's almost as if cranes have their version of VIP access! This snapshot perfectly encapsulates the dedication and hard work put into conserving these beautiful creatures. The image speaks volumes about the importance of protecting wetlands and grasslands for these vulnerable vertebrates. As we marvel at this breathtaking sight captured by Nick Upton from Nature Picture Library's 2020VISION collection, it serves as a reminder that conservation can be fun too! Who knew cranes had such style? Let's hope they don't start requesting red carpets next! So here's to all those involved in preserving wildlife habitats and giving these incredible birds another chance to thrive. Cheers to successful reintroductions and many more safe landings for our crane friends!
