EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this snapshot, we witness a clever avian defense strategy that could rival any Hollywood blockbuster. Meet the Common Terns of Havergate Island Marsh in Suffolk – masters of survival! These feathery heroes have teamed up with ingenious human allies to outsmart their notorious predators. Behold the scene: artificial nesting shelters dotting the landscape like tiny beachfront villas, while bamboo poles stand tall as guardians against aerial intruders. It's an extraordinary collaboration between nature and nurture, where humans lend a helping hand to protect these delicate eggs and young from cunning predatory birds. As if straight out of a spy movie, our feathered friends have found sanctuary within these cozy shelters, hidden away from prying eyes. With each passing day, they grow stronger under the watchful gaze of their vigilant defenders. The suspense builds as stealthy predators circle overhead, eyeing their potential prey. But wait! Just when it seems all hope is lost, our brave tern parents launch into action! They dive-bomb with precision and agility worthy of acrobats, driving away any would-be thieves who dare approach their precious offspring. Nature's drama unfolds on this picturesque island marsh - an epic battle between good and evil played out by its smallest inhabitants. So next time you stumble upon this remarkable print by FLPA Images captured by David Hosking, remember the untold story behind it – one that showcases resilience
