@inwardora: A Collared Pratincole was observed protecting its ground nest as a tractor approached a cultivated field 🚜🥚 The species typically lays its eggs directly on open ground, which makes the nests especially vulnerable in farming areas In this situation the bird stayed at the nest and showed defensive behaviour as the machine got closer 🪽 The farmer noticed the nest in time and adjusted his path to avoid it, preventing any damage Encounters like this highlight the quiet overlap between wildlife nesting habits and modern agriculture 🌾 Follow for more rare moments from the natural world 🌍 #wildlife #nature #birds #animalbehavior #fyp
