Transported back to 1945 in Suffolk's enchanting Staverton Park, our feathered protagonist, a European Black Nightjar, steals the spotlight with its mesmerizing mouth wide open. With wings gracefully spread and eyes gleaming under moonlit skies, this nightjar seems to be belting out an aria that echoes through time. Was it serenading potential mates or simply expressing its nocturnal prowess? We can only imagine! Hosking's expert lens freezes this magical instant forever – a testament to his passion for documenting Britain's wildlife heritage.
