Three's Company - Minnie, Squidgy, and Vince - The Feathered Trio Taking Somerset by Storm!
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this delightful snapshot captured by Nick Upton, we witness the incredible journey of Minnie, Squidgy, and Vince – three charismatic members of the Common/Eurasian crane flock. A year after being released into the wild by the Great Crane Project onto the enchanting Somerset Levels and Moors in August 2011, these majestic birds are flourishing. As their adult plumage begins to develop, it's evident that they have truly embraced their newfound freedom. With each passing day, they grow more confident in navigating their lush grassland habitat amidst picturesque wetlands. These elegant cranes showcase not only their beauty but also a remarkable story of reintroduction. The image captures a moment frozen in time; a testament to successful conservation efforts aimed at protecting these magnificent vertebrates. Their playful camaraderie is palpable as they explore together with boundless curiosity. Minnie, Squidgy, and Vince serve as ambassadors for all reintroduced species across Europe. They remind us that through dedicated preservation initiatives like those undertaken on the Somerset Levels and Moors, we can restore balance to our ecosystems while celebrating nature's resilience. So let this print be a joyful reminder that sometimes even against great odds (and no mention of commercial use), nature finds its way back home!
