Meet the Little Owl of Chillesford, Suffolk – a true British beauty with its striking white plumage and piercing yellow eyes. Eric Hosking was not just any photographer; he was an early pioneer in wildlife photography, known for his groundbreaking techniques and innovative use of high-speed flash equipment.
