Rise and Shine! ☀️🦚 [I Love Birds, All Birds]
The Lesser-Spotted Bellbird, in the 'Grandisson Psalter', c.1270, BL Add. 21926 f208.v.
Rather ominously, at the foot of a page containing the start of the Office for the Dead!

Do have access to these?

@SatyrService Sorry I never saw this comment at the time for some reason!
But yes anyone can access many of these manuscripts - from the comfort of your own home/pyjamas!
http://www.bl.uk/manuscripts/Default.aspx
Goes to the British Library's archive of digitised manuscripts, and:
https://gallica.bnf.fr/accueil/en/content/accueil-en?mode=desktop
to the Bibliothèque nationale de France's collection. (There is an English version of the site I think)
Of course, handling them in person is rather more magical (but sadly rather harder to manage).
