EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this vintage gem captured by the legendary Eric Hosking, we witness a moment frozen in time. Meet our feathered friend, the Common Gull, showcasing its nest-building skills on the picturesque Orkney Islands of Scotland. With an air of confidence and style, this elegant bird seems to have mastered the art of striking a pose for the camera. Eric Hosking was not just any photographer; he was an early pioneer and renowned ornithologist who dedicated his life to capturing nature's beauty through his lens. His passion for wildlife shines through in every click of his shutter. This black-and-white masterpiece takes us back to a simpler era when birds ruled the skies without fear or disturbance. It reminds us that even amidst chaos and change, nature remains timeless and steadfast. The image transports us to British shores where gulls gracefully glide above rugged cliffs and crashing waves. It evokes feelings of nostalgia for those who remember these classic scenes from their childhoods or tales passed down through generations. So let's take a moment to appreciate this historic snapshot – an ode to both Eric Hosking's remarkable talent as well as the enduring charm of these beautiful creatures that grace our skies.
