Caprimulgus europaeus (Ziegenmelker)

John Gould,

This is a painting of two birds and their nestlings on the ground amidst foliage and flowers. The artwork features detailed depictions of the birds. The nestlings are close by, appearing fluffy and small with their heads slightly raised. Surrounding the birds and chicks are clusters of greenery and small, delicate pink flowers. The background is softly rendered, suggesting an open natural habitat.
