EDITORS COMMENTS
Plate 27 from John Gould's renowned publication, "The Birds of Great Britain," Vol. 1 (1873), showcases the majestic and enigmatic Circus macrourus, also known as the Pallid Harrier. This exquisitely hand-coloured lithograph captures the essence of this bird of prey, which was a common sight in the open fields and heathlands of 19th century Britain. The Pallid Harrier, a member of the Accipitridae family within the order Accipitriformes, is a large, powerful bird with a distinctive, broad, and slightly curved beak. Its plumage is predominantly brown, with a paler head and underparts, making it an excellent camouflage against its daytime hunting grounds. In this illustration, the harrier is depicted in the act of hunting, with its head tilted towards the ground and its sharp eyes focused intently on its prey. The artist masterfully conveys the bird's anatomical features, including its long, powerful legs and broad wings, which enable it to fly low over the ground to locate its prey. The Pallid Harrier is an opportunistic hunter, preying on a variety of small mammals, reptiles, and birds. In this image, it appears to have caught a rodent in its beak, ready to deliver a fatal bite. The intricate details of the prey's anatomy are also beautifully rendered, adding to the overall realism of the illustration. John Gould's "The Birds of Great Britain" was a groundbreaking work in ornithological illustration, showcasing the natural history and beauty of the avian species found in Britain during the 19th century. This image of the Pallid Harrier is a testament to the skill and artistry of the illustrators and colourists who worked on the project, and remains a valuable resource for ornithologists and natural history enthusiasts today.
