watercolour and bodycolour, 35.8 x 53.8cm; mount 66.5 x 81.5cm; unframed, It is almost certain that this sheet served as the basis for the print of a female Honey Buzzard included in Thomas Pennant's seminal 'British Zoology' - published in 1776 and engraved by Peter Mazell (fl. circa 1761-1797). This strongly reinforces the proposal that the Fairhaven sheets were located in a notable collection during the 18th century.
