EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this hilarious snapshot captured by FLPA/Michael Durham, we witness a rare and comical sight - an adult male Eurasian Dotterel sitting on its nest in Aviemore, Cairngorms National Park. With his feathers ruffled and a mischievous glint in his eye, it seems like this dapper bird is up to something! Nestled amidst the breathtaking Grampian Mountains of Scotland, our feathered friend has chosen the perfect spot to raise his family. Known for their love of highland habitats and temperate climates, these charismatic dotterels are true mountain enthusiasts. As he guards his precious eggs with utmost dedication, one can't help but wonder what thoughts are running through Mr. Dotterel's mind. Is he contemplating how to outsmart potential predators? Or perhaps planning a surprise party for Mrs. Dotterel when she returns from her grocery run? Whatever the case may be, this charming avian dad showcases both strength and tenderness as he embraces fatherhood atop these majestic peaks. His vibrant plumage stands out against the rugged landscape – a symbol of resilience and beauty. So next time you find yourself exploring the wonders of nature in Britain's own backyard, keep your eyes peeled for these captivating creatures!
