EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this vintage snapshot, renowned ornithologist Eric Hosking takes us on a journey back to 1949 in Chillesford, Suffolk. With his pioneering spirit and an early electronic flash unit, he immortalizes a heartwarming scene of a Barn Owl with its adorable young inside a grain hopper. This timeless photograph showcases the natural beauty of British wildlife at its finest. The European black barn owl, known as Tyto alba, stands out against the rustic backdrop of old England's countryside. Its snowy white feathers glisten under the classic English sunlight. Hosking's expertise as an early pioneer in nature photography is evident here; he captures not only the striking features of these majestic birds but also their tender family dynamics. The owlets peering curiously from within the grain hopper add an element of playfulness to this historic image. As we marvel at this extraordinary piece of avian history, let us appreciate how far technology has come since then. While our modern cameras have evolved significantly, it was through Hosking's lens that we gained insight into the lives and behaviors of these magnificent creatures. So take a moment to transport yourself back in time with this remarkable print by FLPA/David Hosking – where Britain's feathered residents steal the spotlight and remind us all why they continue to be cherished icons of Europe's wildlife heritage!
