This intimate photograph captures a nest of featherless fledglings nestled deep within the protective tangle of a blackberry bush. The young birds, with their closed eyes and translucent skin, are in the earliest stage of development, relying entirely on parental care. Surrounded by thorny stems and green leaves, the vulnerable chicks are both exposed and shieldedâa delicate scene that reflects the raw beginnings of avian life in the wild.
