EDITORS COMMENTS
Talk about a bird with a 'bad hair' day! This Common Magpie in Hertfordshire, England, is rocking a unique style with tumor growths on its head and feet. Clearly, this feathery fashionista isn't letting anything hold it back from perching confidently on that branch in the woodland. Who needs perfect plumage when you've got attitude? But let's not forget the serious side of this snapshot. Our avian friend here is unfortunately battling an illness caused by viruses. It serves as a reminder of the challenges faced by wildlife in their natural habitats. In this striking image captured by FLPA photographer John Watkins, we witness nature's resilience even in the face of adversity. The picturesque backdrop of the British woodlands adds to the mystique surrounding this brave bird. As spring approaches and winter bids farewell, our magpie reminds us that life goes on despite setbacks. Let's hope for brighter days ahead for both our feathered friends and ourselves! So next time you're feeling down about your own bad hair day or minor mishaps, just remember: if this magpie can rock its unique look while facing health issues head-on, so can you!
