EDITORS COMMENTS
Plate 27: Copsychus saularis, Oriental Magpie-Robin (Watercolor by Margaret Bushby Lascelles Cockburn, from Neilgherry Birds and Miscellaneous, 1858) The Oriental Magpie-Robin, Copsychus saularis, is a striking and vibrant bird native to the Indian subcontinent. In this beautiful watercolor illustration by Margaret Bushby Lascelles Cockburn, the bird is depicted perched gracefully on a long, slender branch. Its belly is a rich, orange-red color, contrasting sharply with the black and white markings on its back and head, which resemble those of a magpie. Margaret Bushby Lascelles Cockburn was a prominent British naturalist and artist, known for her meticulous and detailed illustrations of birds from the Indian subcontinent. Her work, which was published in the multi-volume set "Neilgherry Birds and Miscellaneous," is considered a seminal contribution to the field of ornithology in the nineteenth century. The Oriental Magpie-Robin is a passerine bird, belonging to the family Muscicapidae and the order Passeriformes. It is also a member of the Corvidae family, which includes magpies and crows. The bird is a common sight in open woodlands and gardens throughout its range, which extends from Pakistan to Indonesia. The Oriental Magpie-Robin is a popular bird among birdwatchers and naturalists, and is known for its distinctive call and its habit of mimicking the sounds of other birds. It is also an important seed disperser and plays a crucial role in maintaining the balance of ecosystems in its habitat. This stunning watercolor illustration by Margaret Bushby Lascelles Cockburn captures the beauty and intrigue of the Oriental Magpie-Robin, and serves as a testament to the artist's skill and dedication to documenting the natural world.
