Description
Bird eggs from India. The eggs are from the jungle fowl, mountain titlark, tailor bird, kestrel, Neilgherry wood pigeon, smaller hoopoe, hawk eagle, velvet-fronted nuthatch, and the cuckoo. This watercolour is plate 58 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.
