Grey phalarope, historical artwork
Grey phalarope. Historical artwork of a grey phalarope (Phalaropus fulicarius). This migratory wading bird breeds in coastal areas in sub-Arctic Eurasia, and spends the winter off the coasts of western Africa. When breeding it prefers marshy tundra with sparse vegetation, but it spends the rest of its life out at sea. It feeds on marine plankton and small aquatic crustaceans and other invertebrates. This artwork was drawn by Archibald Thorburn (1860-1935)

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a historical artwork of the Grey Phalarope, an exquisite migratory wading bird. Painted by the talented Archibald Thorburn (1860-1935), this illustration beautifully captures the essence of this remarkable species. The Grey Phalarope is known for its breeding grounds in sub-Arctic Eurasia and its winter migration to the coasts of western Africa. During breeding season, it seeks out marshy tundra with sparse vegetation, but for the rest of its life, it ventures out into the vastness of the sea. Feeding on marine plankton and small aquatic crustaceans, this bird's survival depends on its ability to adapt to life at sea. Its elegant presence and graceful movements make it a true marvel to behold. With intricate details and vibrant colors, Thorburn's artwork brings this magnificent creature to life on paper. The vertical composition allows us to fully appreciate every aspect of this British shorebird. This print not only celebrates nature's beauty but also serves as a testament to our fascination with wildlife throughout history. It reminds us that art has long been intertwined with science in our quest to understand and appreciate Earth's diverse creatures.
