Flight of the Frozen Flock - Cranes Soar Back to UK Skies After 400-Year Hiatus!
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this photo, a small flock of juvenile Common / Eurasian cranes takes flight over a snow-covered pastureland on a foggy winter morning. These majestic birds were released into Somerset, UK as part of the Great Crane Project in December 2010. Did you know? Cranes had been absent from the UK for an astonishing 400 years, but now they are making a triumphant comeback! Against the backdrop of mist and frost, these resilient creatures spread their wings wide, ready to conquer the chilly skies. With selective focus on the foreground, we witness their graceful departure from familiar ground. As they run through tyre tracks left by humans and imprint their presence on nature's canvas, it becomes evident that science and conservation efforts have played an essential role in reintroducing this iconic species. This extraordinary sight is not just about birds taking off; it symbolizes hope for wildlife rehabilitation and research. It reminds us that even in bad weather conditions or adverse circumstances like winter's grip, nature finds its way back with resilience and determination. So let us marvel at this mesmerizing moment captured by Nick Upton from Nature Picture Library – a testament to how far we've come in preserving our natural heritage. The return of these magnificent cranes marks another chapter written in the ongoing story of conservation success!
