EDITORS COMMENTS
. Step back in time to 1946, as renowned British ornithologist Eric Hosking captures this enchanting moment on Orkney Island. In a black and white vintage print, we witness the early pioneering days of wildlife photography. This image transports us to the heart of nature's playground - Scotland! The European Scottish Black Eric is caught in action, tending to its nest amidst the picturesque beauty of Orkney. With feathers glistening under the sun, this classic bird poses for its historic close-up. Hosking's expertise shines through as he masterfully freezes this fleeting moment forever. His dedication and passion for documenting British wildlife are evident in every detail captured by his lens. The Corncrake delicately balances between being an enigmatic creature and a symbol of resilience. Its presence reminds us that even in times gone by, nature thrived against all odds. As we marvel at this rare glimpse into our avian past, let's celebrate Hosking's contribution to ornithology and his timeless legacy. This photograph serves as a reminder that conservation efforts have come a long way since then but still require our attention today.
