EDITORS COMMENTS
Rockin' the Roman Ruins: A Bird's Nest with a Historical Twist!". In this photo print, wildlife photographer Don Hadden takes us on an avian adventure to Dougga, Tunisia. Meet the rock sparrow, also known as Petronia petronia, who has chosen an extraordinary nesting spot – a crevice in a rock wall of a Roman ruin! Talk about prime real estate! As we zoom in on this charming little birdie and her nest, it's hard not to admire her resourcefulness and architectural skills. With precision and determination, she has built herself a cozy home amidst ancient stones that once witnessed the grandeur of the Roman Empire. While most birds settle for ordinary trees or bushes for their nests, our feathery friend here clearly prefers something more historically significant. Perhaps she enjoys regaling her chicks with tales of gladiators and emperors while they eagerly await their next meal? This remarkable snapshot captures not only nature's beauty but also highlights the harmonious coexistence between wildlife and human history. It reminds us that even in crumbling ruins where time seems frozen, life finds a way to thrive. So let's raise our imaginary binoculars to salute this adventurous rock sparrow! May she continue building her feathered abode among these magnificent remnants of North Africa's past – proving that sometimes even birds can appreciate some ancient architecture!
