EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this vintage gem captured by the pioneering ornithologist Eric Hosking, we are transported back to 1946, where a bustling community of European Scottish black cormorants takes center stage. Nesting high up on the rugged cliffs of Orkney Greenholmes, these charismatic birds have created their very own avian condominiums. With their striking white plumage contrasting against the classic British backdrop, these early settlers showcase nature's timeless beauty. The photograph is a testament to Eric Hosking's skill as he immortalizes this historic moment in wildlife photography. As we gaze at this scene frozen in time, it's impossible not to marvel at the intricate architecture and organization displayed by our feathered friends. These cormorants have truly mastered the art of communal living! From cozy nooks to spacious perches, every bird seems content with its spot in this aerial neighborhood. The image serves as a reminder that even amidst challenging times like those faced post-World War II, nature continues to thrive and inspire us all. So let us take a step back into history and appreciate this remarkable snapshot from FLPA Images – an enchanting glimpse into Scotland's untamed wilderness and the fascinating lives of its inhabitants.
