Bird eggs from India. The eggs are from the plain wren warbler, red-backed shrike, hill fantail, chestnut-throated finch, avadavat, bungalow swallow, spurfowl, black-headed titmouse, red-eyed babbler, white-eye, tit lark, hill myna, red and yellow breasted woodpecker, and the laughing thrush. This watercolour is plate 19 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.
