EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this snapshot, we witness the unexpected encounter between a dedicated BirdLife Field Officer and an elusive Blackcap Sylvia atricapilla. However, there's a twist to this tale - the mischievous bird has found itself entangled on a limestick trap! With feathers ruffled and eyes wide open, our feathery friend seems both perplexed and slightly annoyed by its predicament. The skilled field officer stands beside it, wearing an expression of surprise mixed with amusement. This comical scene takes place in sunny Cyprus, where migratory birds like the Blackcap make their way across the Mediterranean. Unfortunately, some illegal trapping methods exist that pose threats to these beautiful creatures. But fear not! Our brave BirdLife hero is here to save the day! With his expertise and gentle touch, he carefully works towards freeing the trapped warbler from its sticky situation. It's truly a testament to the dedication of those who work tirelessly to protect our avian friends. As we marvel at this extraordinary moment captured by David Tipling's lens, let us remember that harmony between birds and people is possible without resorting to harmful practices like liming or using limesticks for ambelopoulia. Together, we can ensure safe passage for all migratory birds as they embark on their incredible journeys across borders and continents.
