Eric Hosking, the bird photographer, started taking photographs of birds in the late 1920s, when he did not have the convenience of a light 35mm SLR, but had to lug a 5 plate camera to the top of trees to take his pictures. The photograph that he took over the next 70 years until his death in 1991, stand as some of the classic bird photographs of this century. This book contains a selection of the best of these photographs.
