EDITORS COMMENTS
Fly like a duck, quack like a pro! This male Eider is showing off his impressive flying skills as he soars gracefully over the waters of Aberdeenshire, Scotland. With its vibrant feathers and determined gaze, this dapper duck knows how to make an entrance. But did you know that the eider has been in the spotlight for centuries? Back in 676 AD, Saint Cuthbert established laws to protect these magnificent birds - talk about being ahead of their time! Captured by photographer Mark Hamblin for the 2020VISION Book Plate collection, this stunning image perfectly captures the beauty and majesty of nature's avian wonders. The reflection on the water adds an ethereal touch to this already breathtaking scene. Eiders are known for their love of coastal areas and saltmarshes, making Scotland's rugged coastline an ideal habitat for them. They are true vertebrate celebrities among waterfowl enthusiasts across Europe. So next time you see a flock of ducks waddling around your local pond, take a moment to appreciate these incredible creatures and remember that even ducks can be trailblazers when it comes to protecting our natural world.
