EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Gary Higgins captures a heartwarming moment in the avian world. In this square, color image, we see a Common Cuckoo chick perched on a wooden stump while being fed by an adult Pipit. The profile view allows us to appreciate the intricate details of their plumage and feathers. The scene is filled with tenderness as the adult Pipit leans towards its young companion, beak open and wings raised in a nurturing gesture. Despite the aggressive nature often associated with cuckoos, this image showcases their softer side as they care for their offspring. The wooden stump serves as both a perch and feeding station for these two animals from different families - the motacillidae (Pipit) and cuculidae (Common Cuckoo). With wings outstretched and feathers beautifully displayed, they create an enchanting sight against the backdrop of nature's wonders. Gary Higgins' photography skillfully captures this intimate moment between parent and child in stunning detail. Through his lens, he invites us into their world where love knows no boundaries or species distinctions. This photograph is not just about birds; it symbolizes the universal bond that exists among all creatures. It reminds us of our shared responsibility to protect and nurture every living being on our planet.
