EDITORS COMMENTS
Plate 13 from John Gould's The Birds of Great Britain, Volume 4 (1873), presents a stunning hand-coloured lithograph of the Grey Partridge, Perdix perdix. This exquisite illustration showcases the intricate details of the Grey Partridge's anatomy, with its distinctive grey and brown plumage, prominent face, and expressive eyes. The bird is depicted in its natural habitat, surrounded by the flora of the English countryside. The Grey Partridge, also known as the English Partridge, is a member of the Galliformes order, which includes other game birds such as quails and pheasants. This eudicot, angiosperm, belonging to the family Phasianidae, is a ground-dwelling bird that is well adapted to its terrestrial environment. The Grey Partridge is a popular game bird, and its image has been a staple of British natural history since the 19th century. The illustration reveals the Grey Partridge's anatomical features, including its long, curved beak, which is used for foraging and pecking at seeds and insects. The bird's legs are strong and sturdy, allowing it to move quickly and efficiently across the ground. The Grey Partridge's plumage is a complex pattern of grey, brown, and black, which provides excellent camouflage in its natural habitat. The illustration also highlights the presence of various flowering plants in the Grey Partridge's environment. These plants belong to the Caryophyllaceae family, which includes the common red poppy and the corn poppy. The Grey Partridge feeds on the seeds of these plants, making them an essential part of its diet. The Grey Partridge is a diurnal bird, meaning it is active during the daytime. This image captures the bird in its daytime habitat, surrounded by the vibrant colours of the English countryside and the delicate beauty of the flowering plants that sustain it.
