EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite watercolor painting, titled "New Holland Manakins" and created by Thomas Watling in the late 18th century, showcases the intricate details of the Spotted Pardalote (Pardalotus punctatus), a small, vibrant passerine bird native to Australia. The Spotted Pardalote is a member of the sauropsida class, a group that includes reptiles and birds, and is part of the passeriformes order, which includes perching birds. In this illustration, two Spotted Pardalotes are depicted, one perched on a branch with a mottled red and brown back, long, pointed tail, and short, round head. The other bird is shown in profile, revealing the distinctive white spots on its wings and rump. The birds' anatomy is rendered with remarkable accuracy, from their beaked mouths to their long, slender legs. The Spotted Pardalote is a small, agile bird that is well-adapted to its environment. They are found in wooded areas and are known for their distinctive call, which sounds like a high-pitched "peep." They feed primarily on insects and other invertebrates, which they locate by sight and sound. This beautiful watercolor painting is a testament to Thomas Watling's skill as an artist and his keen observation of the natural world. The Watling Collection, which includes this work, is a valuable resource for ornithologists and natural historians, providing insight into the birds of the colonial period in Australia.
