Bird feathers from India. The feathers are from the common red bird, chestnut-headed bee-eater, common snipe, golden-fronted bulbul, black-headed mango bird, fairy blue bird, and the small goshawk. This watercolour is plate 25 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.
