EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a mesmerizing moment in the natural history of London Zoo. Taken in 1924 by Frederick William Bond, it showcases the elegance and beauty of a Red Kite perched gracefully on a branch. The stark contrast between the bird's dark feathers and the pale background adds to its allure. The Red Kite, scientifically known as Milvus milvus, belongs to the family Accipitridae and is renowned for its distinctive reddish-brown plumage. This image perfectly highlights its regal stature as it surveys its surroundings with piercing eyes. London Zoo has long been celebrated for its dedication to wildlife conservation and education. This photo serves as a testament to their commitment towards preserving these magnificent creatures for future generations. Transporting us back to the 1920s, this snapshot offers a glimpse into an era when zoos were becoming increasingly popular attractions. It reminds us of our fascination with nature's wonders and how we have strived throughout history to understand and protect them. Bridgeman Images presents this remarkable piece from their collection, allowing us to appreciate both the artistry behind Bond's photography skills and the majesty of this red kite in all its glory.
