EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this vintage gem captured by the renowned Eric Hosking, we witness a rare moment of respite for an adventurous Montagus Harrier. Known for their stunning aerial displays in circuses across Europe, this dashing bird decided to take a break from the spotlight and embark on its own hiking expedition through the picturesque landscapes of Norfolk. With feathers as black as night contrasting against the white backdrop, our feathered friend stands out like a classic English gentleman exploring his homeland. This historic photograph captures not only the beauty of nature but also showcases early pioneers in wildlife photography. As if posing for an old-time postcard, our elegant harrier perches gracefully on a branch, seemingly lost in thought. Perhaps it is contemplating its next daring adventure or simply enjoying some peaceful solitude amidst the bustling world below. Eric Hosking's skillful lens transports us back to an era when capturing such moments required patience and expertise. The image exudes nostalgia with its timeless charm and reminds us that even animals can appreciate the tranquility found within Britain's breathtaking countryside. So let us celebrate this remarkable snapshot – a testament to both British wildlife and Hosking's pioneering spirit – while imagining what other hidden wonders await discovery along Norfolk's winding trails!
