EDITORS COMMENTS
Plate 60 from Archibald Thorburn's second edition of British Birds, Volume 2 (1925) showcases the intricate details of two fascinating avian species: the Greater Spotted Woodpecker (Dendrocopos major) and the Eurasian Wryneck (Jynx torquilla). The illustration captures the vibrant plumage and unique anatomy of each bird, bringing their natural beauty to life. At the center, the Greater Spotted Woodpecker is depicted with its distinctive black and white plumage, bold red crest, and powerful bill. The bird is shown perched on a branch, its back feathers ruffled, revealing the intricate brown patterns that cover its body. With one foot flexed and one extended, the woodpecker exudes a sense of alertness and readiness, as if poised to search for grubs and insects hidden beneath the bark of trees. To the right, the Eurasian Wryneck is illustrated in a more unconventional pose. The female bird is shown with its head twisted almost 180 degrees, exposing the brightly colored underbelly and the intricate patterns on its neck. This unusual posture is a defense mechanism used by the wryneck to mimic the appearance of a snake, deterring potential predators. The wryneck's brown and white feathers blend seamlessly with the forest floor, making it an expert at blending in with its surroundings. Archibald Thorburn's meticulous attention to detail and exceptional artistic skill are on full display in this illustration. The intricate anatomy of each bird is rendered with precision, allowing viewers to appreciate the complexities of their structures. The illustration also captures the essence of a day in the life of these birds, showcasing their unique adaptations and behaviors. Overall, Plate 60 is a testament to Thorburn's mastery of bird illustration and a beautiful addition to any collection of natural history art.
