The Taylor White Collection
The watercolour painting of the Indian Scops Owl comes from the collection of Taylor White F.R.S. (1701-1772). In the mid-18th Century, White commissioned the celebrated wildlife painter, Peter Paillou (c.1720 - c.1790) to paint a number of specimens for his collection. The Indian Scops Owl was one of the watercolour paintings, which resulted from the collaboration between White and Paillou.
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 Indian Scops Owl 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 Indian Scops Owl
The Indian Scops Owl (Scientific name: Otus bakkamoena),
native to South Asia, is a small to medium-sized owl known for its nocturnal habits and captivating physical features. Distinguished by its rounded head without ear tufts, large yellow-orange to deep orange eyes, and cryptic plumage, this owl measures between 23-25 cm. They possess an impressive ability to camouflage, elongating their bodies and narrowing their eyes to a thin slit to resemble a tree branch when threatened.
The habitat of the Indian Scops Owl extends across India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, and parts of Southeast Asia, often favoring deciduous forests, plantations, and gardens. Their diet is primarily insectivorous, consisting of beetles, moths, and locusts, but they are also known to feed on small mammals, birds, and reptiles. Breeding between February and April, these monogamous owls often reuse old woodpecker holes or natural tree cavities for their nests. They have a lifespan of up to 10 years in the wild, but in captivity, with optimal conditions and care, they can live up to 20 years.
Despite being classified as Least Concern by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), the population trend for the Indian Scops Owl is decreasing. Threats include habitat loss, fragmentation, hunting, and trafficking for the illegal pet trade, making conservation efforts crucial for this species. Understanding and appreciating these unique creatures are critical steps in ensuring their protection and preservation for future generations.
