Plate 187 from William MacGillivray's Watercolour Drawings of British Animals (1831-1841): A Detailed Illustration of the Northern Wheatear, Oenanthe oenanthe This stunning watercolor illustration, Plate 187 from William MacGillivray's Watercolour Drawings of British Animals (1831-1841), showcases the intricate details of the Northern Wheatear, Oenanthe oenanthe. MacGillivray, a renowned Scottish naturalist and ornithologist, meticulously captured the vibrant colors and distinctive features of this small, orange-rumped, pink-spotted bird. The Northern Wheatear is a passerine bird belonging to the Muscicapidae family and the Passeriformes order, which includes songbirds and perching birds. The bird's long, grey head is adorned with a distinctive black eye stripe, while its belly is covered in cream-colored spots. The bird's back and wings are a rich, brown hue, with a long, grey rump that contrasts sharply with its orange belly. MacGillivray's illustration provides an anatomically accurate representation of the Northern Wheatear, highlighting its long, slender legs and pointed wings. The bird is depicted perched on a rocky outcrop, showcasing its agile and alert posture. The Northern Wheatear is a migratory bird, breeding in the northern parts of Europe, Asia, and North America, and wintering in Africa and the Mediterranean. This illustration provides a glimpse into the natural history of this fascinating bird during the 19th century, offering a window into the world of avian anatomy and the meticulous observation skills of a dedicated naturalist.
