EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning photograph captures the grace and agility of a Hoopoe bird (Upupa epops) in flight, taken in the year 1901. The Hoopoe is a distinctive bird with its distinctive crest of feathers, elongated bill, and colourful plumage. In this image, the bird is shown in mid-air, its wings spread wide, and its crest streaming behind it like a banner. The Hoopoe is a migratory bird, and this photograph likely depicts one making its way to its breeding grounds in Europe and Asia after spending the winter in Africa. The photograph's timeless quality transports us back to an era when the natural world was still largely undisturbed, and the wonders of nature could be captured on film for future generations to marvel at. The Hoopoe, with its unique appearance and captivating flight, continues to be a beloved subject for birdwatchers and naturalists around the world. This photograph is a testament to the enduring beauty and allure of the natural world, and a reminder of the importance of preserving it for future generations.
