A small, very long-legged female bird with white head and neck, and black wings and body. Tall reeds in the left foreground, three other birds in the left background on the other side of a river with mountains and trees in the far distance. Inscription at bottom centre reads, "black-winged stilt (Himantopus Canidus)."

Item consists of one page featuring three colour illustrations of birds cut out and pasted on leaf. The birds are identified by later handwritten pencil captions. The birds are identified in the captions as: Black-winged Stilt (Himantopus himantopus), Common Kingfisher (Alcedo atthis), and Sarus Crane (Megaloris antigone). An additional note indicates that the drawing of the crane corresponds to volume II, page 288 of Forbes's "Oriental Memoirs" (the "Sahras or Demoiselle of Guzerat.")
