EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this print captured by Nick Upton for the 2020VISION Exhibition, three lively 18-month-old Common / Eurasian cranes named Bart, Christine, and Gilbert take center stage. Released into their natural habitat by the Great Crane Project in Somerset, UK, these majestic birds are reclaiming their rightful place after a 400-year absence. As the sun peeks over the horizon on a Barley stubble field, these vibrant juveniles proudly raise their bustles while bugling with all their might. Their calls echo through the air as other flock members look on in awe of their youthful exuberance. This heartwarming scene reminds us of nature's resilience and our ability to restore what was once lost. Thanks to conservation efforts like this project, we can witness these magnificent creatures thriving once again in wetlands and marshes. Let this image be a reminder that every small step towards preserving our environment counts. From reintroducing species to protecting vital habitats, together we can ensure that future generations will continue to enjoy such breathtaking moments with nature's most remarkable creations - like Bart, Christine, and Gilbert - for years to come.
