EDITORS COMMENTS
Plate 11 from William MacGillivray's Watercolour Drawings of British Animals (1831-1841) features a captivating image of the European Honey Buzzard, Pernis apivorus, perched majestically on a gnarled branch. This bird of prey, a member of the Accipitridae family and the Accipitriformes order, is depicted with its sharp, hooked beak open slightly, revealing the distinctive yellow tip. The European Honey Buzzard is a master of daytime hunting, using its keen eyesight and agility to locate honeybees and wasps, which it catches in mid-air or on the ground. MacGillivray's meticulous attention to detail is evident in the intricate anatomy of the bird's brown, feathered body and the textured bark of the branch. The European Honey Buzzard's powerful, brown feet, with their distinctive scutellate (shield-shaped) talons, are also clearly visible, adding to the overall sense of strength and grace. This nineteenth-century illustration provides a fascinating glimpse into the natural history of the European Honey Buzzard, a bird that continues to fascinate ornithologists and nature enthusiasts alike. The image invites us to appreciate the beauty and complexity of this bird of prey, as well as the intricacies of the natural world that surrounds us. MacGillivray's Watercolour Drawings of British Animals is an important historical record of the natural history of Britain during the 19th century, and this image of the European Honey Buzzard is a testament to the artist's skill and dedication to accurately capturing the natural world.
