Plate 84 from John Gould's The Birds of Great Britain, Volume 4 (1873): A Striking Hand-Coloured Lithograph of the Common Coot (Fulica atra) This exquisite hand-coloured lithograph, Plate 84 from John Gould's The Birds of Great Britain, Volume 4 (1873), showcases the Common Coot (Fulica atra), a fascinating waterbird native to Eurasia. The Common Coot is a member of the Gruiformes order, within the family Rallidae, and is easily recognizable by its distinctive bald, grey head and brown body. The Common Coot is often found in freshwater environments, such as ponds, lakes, and marshes, and is a versatile bird that can thrive in various habitats. In this illustration, the bird is depicted in its natural daytime surroundings, standing on a rock with an eggshell in its beak. The intricate details of the Common Coot's plumage are beautifully rendered, from the subtle variations in brown hues on its body to the intricate patterns on its wings. The Common Coot is an excellent swimmer and diver, and its distinctive, large, red feet are well-adapted for grasping aquatic vegetation and securing food. It is also an omnivorous bird, feeding on a variety of items, including aquatic plants, insects, mollusks, and small fish. This stunning illustration, produced during the 19th century, is a testament to the artistry and attention to detail of the time. The meticulous hand-colouring brings the Common Coot to life, showcasing its unique features and beauty in a way that continues to captivate and inspire. The Common Coot remains a beloved bird species, both in Europe and beyond, and this illustration serves as a reminder of its enduring appeal.
