EDITORS COMMENTS
Plate 52 from John Gould's The Birds of Great Britain, Volume 2 (1873), features a stunning hand-coloured lithograph of the Black Redstart (Phoenicurus ochruros). This exquisite illustration captures the vibrant plumage and distinctive features of this agile and attractive passerine bird. The Black Redstart is a member of the Muscicapidae family, and is known for its distinctive black and red coloration, with a grey back and wings, and a long, pointed tail. The bird in this illustration is perched on a rocky outcrop, likely outside its nesting site. The Black Redstart is a ground-nesting bird, and can often be found in urban environments, nesting in the crevices of walls or in abandoned burrows. The female can be seen incubating her eggs, with a single clutch typically consisting of 4-6 eggs. The Black Redstart is a daytime bird, and can be found foraging for insects and other invertebrates during the day. Its diet consists primarily of insects, spiders, and other invertebrates, which it locates by sight and by hearing. The Black Redstart is a migratory bird, with populations in Europe and Asia making the journey to Africa for the winter months. This illustration is a testament to the remarkable detail and artistry of John Gould's The Birds of Great Britain series, which was produced in the nineteenth century. The hand-colouring adds an extra layer of beauty and realism to the lithograph, making it a prized addition to any collection of natural history art or ornithology.
