EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this delightful snapshot captured by Terry Whittaker, a flock of Dark-bellied Brent Geese can be seen indulging in their favorite culinary adventure amidst the picturesque landscapes of South Swale, Kent. These avian food enthusiasts have discovered a delectable feast right at their beaks – crops! Who knew these geese had such refined taste? With an air of sophistication and impeccable table manners, these feathered connoisseurs gracefully graze on the bountiful farmland offerings. As they nibble away on tender shoots and succulent greens, it's hard not to envy their gourmet dining experience. But let's not forget that even though they may appear as mere pests to some farmers, these geese play an important role in our ecosystem. By feasting on crops, they help control pest populations naturally without any need for pesticides or harmful interventions. As part of the Greater Thames Futurescapes project and 2020VISION initiative, this image reminds us of the harmonious coexistence between humans and wildlife. It showcases how urban areas like South Swale can provide vital habitats for diverse vertebrates like waterfowl. So next time you spot a flock of Dark-bellied Brent Geese enjoying their farm-to-beak mealtime, take a moment to appreciate nature's own pest controllers turned epicureans! Bon appétit!
