The Taylor White Collection
The watercolour painting of the Wrens comes from the collection of Taylor White F.R.S. (1701-1772). In the mid-18th Century, White commissioned the celebrated wildlife painter, Charles Collins (c.1680 - 1744) to paint a number of specimens for his collection. The Wrens was one of the watercolour paintings, which resulted from the collaboration between White and Collins.
Taylor White, a barrister by profession, was a keen naturalist and collector. He commissioned over 900 paintings of birds, mammals, reptiles and fish from the finest painters of his day. He was a Fellow of The Royal Society and founding Treasurer of The Foundling Hospital in London.
The original watercolour of the Wrens is extremely finely painted, with great detail being seen in all of the details of the painting. This depth of colour and detail has been captured brilliantly through the digitalisation process and is replicated for you on this delightful journal.
The Eurasian Wren
The Eurasian Wren (Scientific name: Troglodytes troglodytes) may be small, but it's a force to be reckoned with, spreading its wings across Europe, central and northeastern Asia, and even North America. Despite facing challenges during frigid winters, this mighty little bird continues to be the most common breeding bird in the UK.
What's so special about this pint-sized powerhouse? For starters, the Wren is a master of making the most of its surroundings. With an uncanny knack for finding snug, cosy nesting spots, these petite birds can be found settling into cracks in walls, bushes, tree hollows, and even on the ground. Their architectural skills are on full display as they construct dome-shaped nests from moss and twigs – earning them their scientific name, Troglodytes troglodytes.
But the Wren's talents don't stop there! Boasting a beautiful brown plumage, it's easily recognized by its small stature and distinct, cocked tail. However, the Wren's true claim to fame is its captivating singing ability. These little virtuosos are known for their exceptional vocal range, even capable of singing two notes simultaneously. As early risers, they'll often kick off the dawn chorus, serenading the world with their enchanting melodies.
