EDITORS COMMENTS
Who needs a fancy mansion when you can have a nest in the guttering? This European Blackbird knows how to make the most of her croft in South Uist, Outer Hebrides. Talk about unconventional housing choices! In this quirky print captured by Bill Coster, we see this adult female blackbird perched comfortably on her nest, nestled right in the croft guttering. It's like she's saying, 'Why settle for a regular tree when I can have my own cozy spot with a view?' The stunning backdrop of Scotland's picturesque Outer Hebrides adds an extra touch of charm to this already unique scene. Who would've thought that such an ordinary-looking bird could find such an extraordinary nesting spot? This little avian architect proves that nature always finds a way to adapt and thrive even in the oddest places. She has turned what was once just another piece of building infrastructure into her very own island paradise. So next time you're looking for some inspiration for your dream home, take a cue from our feathered friend here – think outside the box (or rather, outside the gutter) and create something truly one-of-a-kind!
