EDITORS COMMENTS
Plate 21: Pericrocotus flammeus, the Scarlet Minivet, is depicted in this stunning watercolor illustration by Margaret Bushby Lascelles Cockburn from her comprehensive work "Neilgherry Birds and Miscellaneous," published in 1858. The Scarlet Minivet is a small, long-tailed passerine bird belonging to the family Campephagidae, native to the Indian subcontinent and Southeast Asia. This vibrant orange bird is perched gracefully on a branch, showcasing its distinctive features. The male Scarlet Minivet is known for its bright orange plumage, while the female has a more subdued appearance with brownish-orange feathers. The head of this bird is long and pointed, with a distinctive crest on the head and a short, curved beak. The Scarlet Minivet is a common bird in its range and is often seen perched on tree branches or flying low over open country. It feeds on a variety of insects, fruits, and berries. This illustration provides an intricate and detailed view of the bird's anatomy, from its rump to its belly, offering a glimpse into the natural history of this fascinating species. Margaret Bushby Lascelles Cockburn was a renowned British naturalist and illustrator who dedicated her life to documenting the natural world. Her work, "Neilgherry Birds and Miscellaneous," is a testament to her passion and expertise in ornithology. This illustration, in particular, showcases her exceptional talent in capturing the beauty and intricacy of the natural world through her watercolor paintings.
