EDITORS COMMENTS
Plate 34 from John Gould's The Birds of Great Britain, Volume 5 (1873) showcases a captivating assemblage of three distinct waterbirds: the Common Merganser (Mergus merganser), the Common Kingfisher (Alcedo atthis), and the Eurasian Kingfisher (Alcedo ispida). This exquisitely hand-coloured lithograph offers a detailed and accurate representation of these birds' anatomy and vibrant plumage. The Common Merganser, a large duck from the Anatidae family, is depicted in its striking breeding attire. The male sports a distinctive crest, a long, sleek body, and a blue, cream, and brown plumage. The female, more modestly colored, can be seen in the background. Mergansers are anatomically unique among ducks, with a serrated edge to their bills, which they use to catch fish underwater. The Common Kingfisher, a small, slender bird belonging to the Alcedinidae family, is shown perched on a branch, poised to dive into the water. Its bright blue back and wings, orange-red underparts, and a long, downward-curved beak are evident in this illustration. Kingfishers are known for their agility and precision when hunting, as they can hover in mid-air above the water before plunging in to catch their prey. The Eurasian Kingfisher, also known as the Alcedo atthis, is another striking bird featured in this plate. It shares similarities with the Common Kingfisher but has a more elongated bill and a brown, not orange-red, underbelly. This bird is a resident of Europe, Asia, and North Africa, and it is a popular sight for birdwatchers due to its vivid colors and fascinating hunting techniques.
