EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a rare and intimate moment between two Common Terns, scientifically known as Sterna hirundo. The image was taken in the picturesque setting of Ouedeschild, Texel, located on the West Frisian Islands in the province of North Holland, The Netherlands. In this stunning display of animal behavior, we witness these avian creatures engaged in copulation. With their elegant wings outstretched against a backdrop of natural beauty, these birds symbolize both grace and passion. Their full-length figures are illuminated by the warm daylight that bathes the scene. The absence of human presence allows us to truly appreciate this raw connection between two animals in the wild. It is a reminder that nature's wonders unfold without our interference or influence. As members of Charadriiformes order and Sternidae family, Common Terns are renowned for their aerial acrobatics and distinctive calls. However, it is during moments like these that they reveal another aspect of their lives - reproduction. Photographer Stefan Huwiler has expertly captured this fleeting instance with precision and artistry. His lens immortalizes not only an act crucial for species survival but also showcases the delicate balance within ecosystems. This remarkable photograph serves as a testament to wildlife's resilience and beauty while offering us a glimpse into one small part of nature's grand tapestry.
