Louis Wain Fact #74:
Wain assisted in the discovery of a new subspecies of tit bird in the pine woods of County Sligo, Ireland. The Irish Coal Tit (Periparus Ater Hibernicus) was discerned from the British variant by noted ornithologist Collingwood Ingram, a close friend of Wain by a yellow tinge on its cheeks and underside. Wain helped deliver specimens to the press to have it formally identified.
