Feathers in a Frenzy - A Spanish Skirmish of Starlings and Goshawks!
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this snapshot captured by FLPA/Roger Tidman, the skies above Spain become a battleground for an epic avian encounter. The print showcases the mesmerizing sight of two starling species, the Common Starling (Sturnus vulgaris) and Spotless Starling (Sturnus unicolor), soaring together in flight. However, their tight grouping is not due to mere camaraderie; it's caused by the menacing presence of a Northern Goshawk (Accipiter gentilis) swooping down to attack! As these feathery daredevils navigate through the winter air, their collective behavior takes on an extraordinary twist. With hawk-like precision, the adult goshawk becomes both predator and prey as it hunts its target amidst this European spectacle. The frenzy intensifies as these birds showcase their aerial prowess while evading capture. The image captures more than just a moment frozen in time; it encapsulates nature's raw power and survival instincts at play. Amidst all this chaos, one cannot help but marvel at how such diverse species can come together under duress. So let your imagination take flight with this remarkable photograph! Witness firsthand how nature weaves its intricate tapestry of life—a true testament to the untamed beauty that exists within our world's wildlife.
