EDITORS COMMENTS
Plate 33: Merops leschenaulti, the Chestnut-headed Bee-eater, is depicted in this stunning watercolor painting by Margaret Bushby Lascelles Cockburn from her "Neilgherry Birds and Miscellaneous" series, published in 1858. The Chestnut-headed Bee-eater is a vibrant and striking bird belonging to the Coraciiformes order, within the Avian class. The bird is shown perched on a curved branch, its chestnut-brown belly contrasting sharply with its chestnut-hued head and underparts. The bee-eater's long, curved, and distinctive bill is open, revealing the pinkish interior, which is perfectly adapted for its primary food source - bees and other insects. The Chestnut-headed Bee-eater is an anthophilous bird, meaning it feeds primarily on nectar and insects. It is often found near angiosperms, or dicotyledon plants, which provide both food and nesting sites for the bird. This beautiful watercolor painting, created in the late 19th century, showcases the intricate details of the bird's anatomy. The feathers on its belly are finely textured, and the delicate veins on its wings can be seen, adding to the overall realism of the artwork. Margaret Bushby Lascelles Cockburn was a skilled naturalist and artist who dedicated her life to documenting the natural world around her. Her work, including this plate of the Chestnut-headed Bee-eater, remains an important contribution to the field of ornithology and continues to inspire appreciation for the beauty and diversity of the natural world.
