Description
Bird eggs from India. The eggs are from the house sparrow, white-breasted babbler, grey-headed flycatcher, common dove, purple honey sucker, hill grey babbler, small black swallow, red-backed swallow, Neilgherry blue flycatcher, red-billed quail, Neilgherry blackbird, and the red-billed cuckoo. This watercolour is plate 41 from 'Neilgherry Birds and Miscellaneous' (1858) by the Indian-born British artist and amateur ornithologist Margaret Bushby Lascelles Cockburn (1829-1928). This book consists mostly of her illustrations of the flora and fauna of the Nilgiri Hills (then known as the Neilgherry Hills) in the state of Tamil Nadu, in southern India.
