EDITORS COMMENTS
Plate 15 from John Gould's The Birds of Great Britain, Volume 2 (1873) presents a stunning hand-coloured lithograph of the Red-backed Shrike, Lanius collurio. This exquisite illustration showcases the intricate details of this enigmatic bird, a member of the Cracticidae family also known as butcherbirds. The Red-backed Shrike is a medium-sized bird, characterized by its distinctive brown and grey plumage, bold brow stripe, and a conspicuous red patch on the back of its head. The shrike's piercing, hooked beak and yellow eyes convey a sharp, alert gaze. This bird is an insectivore and an arthropod specialist, feeding primarily on insects and other invertebrates. The Red-backed Shrike is a daytime hunter, impaling its prey on thorns or barbed wire to secure it for later consumption. This gruesome but effective hunting technique is depicted in the illustration, with a grasshopper impaled on a twig. The Red-backed Shrike is a European species, and was once common throughout Great Britain. However, due to habitat loss, fragmentation, and declining insect populations, this bird is now considered endangered in some areas. This beautiful illustration serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving the natural world and the unique creatures that inhabit it. John Gould's The Birds of Great Britain is a seminal work in the history of ornithological illustration, featuring meticulously detailed and accurate depictions of the birds of Great Britain and Ireland. This plate, in particular, showcases the remarkable skill of the lithographers and colourists who brought these illustrations to life, capturing the essence of the Red-backed Shrike in all its glory.
