Plate 18 from William MacGillivray's Watercolour Drawings of British Animals (1831-1841): A Detailed Illustration of the Eurasian Oystercatcher (Haematopus ostralegus) This striking watercolor illustration, Plate 18 from William MacGillivray's Watercolour Drawings of British Animals (1831-1841), showcases the intricate anatomy of the Eurasian Oystercatcher (Haematopus ostralegus). The European oystercatcher is a large, distinctive wading bird with an orange-red bill, long, black legs, and a bold, black and white plumage. MacGillivray's meticulous attention to detail is evident in the illustration, which highlights the bird's anatomical features, including its long, powerful bill, used for cracking open mollusks and other hard-shelled prey. The illustration also reveals the bird's orange-red belly, which contrasts with its black and white breast and head. The Eurasian Oystercatcher is a common sight along European and Asian coastlines, particularly during the daytime hours. They are members of the Charadriiformes order, which also includes plovers, gulls, and terns. MacGillivray's illustration captures the bird in its natural habitat, outside, with its long, orange-red legs extended, ready to wade into the water in search of food. MacGillivray's Watercolour Drawings of British Animals is a significant work in the history of natural history illustration, providing a detailed record of the natural world during the 19th century. This illustration of the Eurasian Oystercatcher is a testament to MacGillivray's skill as an artist and his dedication to accurately recording the natural world.
