Plate 72 from John Gould's The Birds of Great Britain, Volume 5 (1873): A Stunning Hand-Coloured Lithograph of the Arctic Tern, Sterna paradisaea This exquisite hand-coloured lithograph, Plate 72 from John Gould's The Birds of Great Britain, Volume 5 (1873), showcases the captivating beauty of the Arctic Tern (Sterna paradisaea). The Arctic Tern is a remarkable bird belonging to the Laridae family, order Charadriiformes, and is the longest-lived migratory bird species in the world. John Gould, a renowned English ornithologist and publisher, meticulously documented the anatomy of this bird in this stunning illustration. The Arctic Tern is depicted in detail, with its slender, grey body, long, pointed wings, and distinctive forked bill. Its legs and feet are also clearly visible, revealing the intricacies of its anatomy. The Arctic Tern is a bird of the daytime, spending its days flying over the Arctic and Antarctic waters, feeding on fish and invertebrates. Its bill, which is perfectly adapted for catching prey, is long and pointed, allowing it to plunge deep into the water to catch its food. This beautiful illustration, produced during the 19th century, showcases the intricacies of the Arctic Tern's anatomy and highlights its unique features. The hand-colouring adds an extra layer of detail and depth, bringing the bird to life and making it a true work of art. The Arctic Tern's migration pattern is one of the most fascinating aspects of its biology. Each year, it travels from its Arctic breeding grounds to the Antarctic, covering an incredible distance of up to 25,000 miles. This remarkable journey allows it to experience the longest day and night cycles on Earth, making it a truly unique and fascinating species.
