EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this print by David Tipling, we witness an incredible moment of liberation for a feathery friend. Caught in the treacherous web of an illegally erected mist net, our brave Great Reed Warbler narrowly evades becoming a mouthwatering delicacy on restaurant menus! As autumn paints the olive groves of Cyprus with warm hues, this migrant bird finds itself entangled in a life-threatening situation. But fear not! Just as hope seems lost, enter the avian superheroes - the police force dedicated to protecting these precious migratory birds. With swift precision and unwavering determination, they cut through the snare that would have sealed our warbler's fate. The joyous relief is palpable as our feathered hero takes flight once more, leaving behind its captors dumbfounded. This powerful image serves as a reminder that nature's beauty should never be exploited for profit or pleasure. Let it stand as a testament to the tireless efforts made by conservationists and law enforcement to safeguard both birds and people alike. So next time you savor ambelopoulia-free cuisine in Cyprus or admire migratory wonders overhead, raise your glass to this courageous Great Reed Warbler - forever free from harm's way thanks to those who protect them!
