EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this snapshot captured by FLPA/Andrew Bailey, we witness a thrilling moment from nature's theater. A dashing adult male European Blackbird, known as Turdus merula, showcases its impeccable hunting skills near a tranquil garden pond in Bentley, Suffolk, England. With precision and finesse, our feathered protagonist expertly adjusts his position while clutching a delectable Broad-bodied Chaser (Libellula depressa) prey in his beak. This avian maestro effortlessly tosses up his catch to find the perfect grip before indulging in a well-deserved meal. The idyllic setting of East Anglia provides an ideal backdrop for this remarkable display of survival instincts.

Our black-feathered hero is not just any passerine; it is an emblematic symbol of British wildlife. With its melodious song echoing through English gardens and parks alike, the European Blackbird enchants both locals and visitors from afar. Let this extraordinary image serve as a reminder that even amidst our busy lives, there are moments of pure wonder waiting to be discovered right outside our doorstep. So next time you spot a blackbird perched on your lawn or hear its enchanting melody fill the air – take pause and appreciate nature's intricate
