EDITORS COMMENTS
Plate 18 from John Gould's The Birds of Great Britain, Volume 2 (1873) presents a stunning hand-coloured lithograph of the Collared Flycatcher, Ficedula albicollis. The illustration captures the bird perched gracefully on a long, slender branch, its distinctive collared markings contrasting sharply against the lush green foliage. The Collared Flycatcher is a small, agile bird belonging to the Muscicapidae family, known for its ability to fly-catch during the daytime. John Gould's meticulous attention to detail is evident in the intricately rendered plumage and anatomical features of the Collared Flycatcher. The bird is depicted with its beak open, as if in the midst of a hunt, adding a sense of dynamism and action to the otherwise serene scene. The hand-colouring further enhances the realism and vibrancy of the image, bringing the Collared Flycatcher to life. This beautiful illustration offers a glimpse into the natural history of the Collared Flycatcher during the 19th century. The Collared Flycatcher is a migratory bird, breeding in Europe and Asia and wintering in Africa. Its collared markings, which are more pronounced in the breeding season, make it easily identifiable among other flycatchers. The Collared Flycatcher feeds primarily on insects, which it catches in mid-air while hovering above its prey. The Collared Flycatcher remains a popular subject among ornithologists and bird enthusiasts, and this exquisite illustration by John Gould continues to be a valuable resource for studying the natural history and behaviour of this fascinating bird species.
