Bird eggs from India. The eggs are from the crested lark, sky lark, nightjar, hill bulbul, common bulbul, orange robin, crow pheasant, Neilgherry robin, ashy wren warbler, red-faced lapwing, and the large black crow. This watercolour is plate 3 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.
