EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the serene beauty of nature in Italy. Taken on October 23,2015, it showcases a Teal Duck gracefully gliding across a tranquil pond at the LIPU Stork Centre in Racconigi, near Cuneo, northwestern Italy. The image perfectly reflects the duck's vibrant colors and delicate features as they are mirrored in the calm waters beneath. The Stork Centre serves as a haven for numerous bird species during winter migration from Northern Europe. It plays an essential role in reintroducing White Storks into their natural habitat while also providing care for injured birds from the Piedmont Region. This sanctuary is not only a place of refuge but also acts as a symbol of conservation efforts to protect these magnificent creatures. Photographer Marco Bertorello skillfully captures this moment, showcasing his keen eye for detail and appreciation for wildlife photography. Through his lens, he invites us to marvel at the intricate patterns on the Teal Duck's feathers and ponder its journey from distant lands to find solace here. This AFP print serves as a reminder of our responsibility to preserve and cherish our natural world. It encapsulates both the fragility and resilience of these avian wonders while urging us to take action towards safeguarding their habitats for generations to come.
