EDITORS COMMENTS
Guess who's playing hide and seek in the Iris bed? It's none other than the elusive Corncrake Crex crex, master of camouflage! This stunning photo captured by David Tipling at Balranald RSPB Reserve in North Uist, Outer Hebrides, Scotland is a true gem. The Corncrake seems to have perfected the art of blending into its surroundings, making it almost impossible to spot. With its intricate patterns and earthy tones, this Scottish island dweller knows how to stay concealed from prying eyes. Its feathers mimic the vibrant colors of the surrounding Iris flowers so seamlessly that you might mistake it for just another petal swaying gently in the wind. But don't be fooled by its hidden presence – this little bird has a big voice! Known for its distinctive rasping call that echoes across meadows and marshes during breeding season, the Corncrake adds an enchanting melody to these beautiful islands. So next time you find yourself strolling through nature reserves or exploring remote corners of Scotland, keep your eyes peeled for this expert hider. And if you're lucky enough to catch a glimpse of this feathered magician amidst a sea of Irises, consider yourself truly blessed!
