Some of you probably saw this, but this is a really neat photo of a bird protecting its nest from a bounding bunny that surely meant it no harm.
Here is a comment on it from the site:
Anyone who has spent hours watching a Stone Curlew do little more than blink in the heat haze will enjoy this photo. Great pictures tell a story, and here’s an insight into the everyday life of a breeding pair. Grazing, particularly by rabbits, plays an important role in the recovery of Stone Curlews in the Brecks, along with the efforts of dedicated farmers, volunteers and conservation staff. Peter can only have had a moment to capture this, with the Stone Curlew’s wings spread to defend its mate from the oncoming rabbit that he has caught in mid-leap.“
