EDITORS COMMENTS
Plate 10 in Margaret Bushby Lascelles Cockburn's "Neilgherry Birds and Miscellaneous" (1858) features a stunning watercolor illustration of the Pied Bushchat, Saxicola caprata. This small, agile bird is perched gracefully on a branch, showcasing its distinctive pied plumage. The Pied Bushchat is a passerine, belonging to the Muscicapidae family, and is native to the Indian subcontinent. The Pied Bushchat is characterized by its brown, long tail and its contrasting black and white markings on its face, rump, and wings. The male and female have similar plumage, but the female has a slightly less distinct pattern on her belly. This bird is a popular sight in open grasslands and scrub forests, and can often be seen perching on branches or hopping on the ground in search of insects and other small invertebrates. Margaret Bushby Lascelles Cockburn was an accomplished artist and naturalist, and her work during the 19th century contributed significantly to the documentation of the avian fauna of the Indian subcontinent. Her watercolors were meticulously executed, capturing the intricacies of each bird's plumage and anatomy. The Pied Bushchat illustration in Plate 10 is no exception, with every detail rendered in exquisite detail. The Pied Bushchat is a sauropsida, a group of animals that includes reptiles and birds, and is part of the larger class of Aves. The bird's name, Saxicola caprata, comes from the Latin words "saxicola," meaning "dweller on rocks," and "caprata," meaning "goat-like," likely referring to the bird's habit of perching on rocks and its goat-like call. This beautiful watercolor illustration of the Pied Bushchat is a testament to Margaret Bushby Lascelles Cockburn's skill as an artist and her dedication to documenting the natural world around her. It is a valuable addition to any collection of natural history art or ornithology.
