Coot in Reeds Greetings Card
£2.75Coot in Reeds Greetings Card
The Coot is identifiable by its distinctive white beak and ‘shield’ against the rest of its body which is all black. That beak and shield have earned it the title ‘bald’ (as in “bald as a coot”). Its feet appear webbed due to flaps of skin on the toes and they seem disproportionate to its body, as shown in this illustration. It is a messy nester and can be aggressive towards other birds.
Designed by the highly skilled artist Stephen Lennon, the Coot in Reeds greetings card is part of his Wildfowl and Wetland Birds range. All Stephen’s designs start as a drawing, often from life. His cards are printed locally (he’s a Yorkshireman in exile, now to be found in Northumberland) and the production of them supports many small businesses.

Mute Swan and Reeds Greetings Card
£2.75Mute Swan and Reeds Greetings Card
The Mute Swan is the largest of the UK swans, and gets its name from its relatively unheard voice (compared to its noisy relative, the Whooper Swan which is named for its in-flight call). Its graceful S-shaped neck and distinctive orange and black bill and bump ensure that it rarely goes unnoticed.

Robert Gillmor – Ringed Plover Quartet Cushion by We Love Cushions
£33.49This beautiful single-sided Ringed Plover Quartet cushion is based on Robert Gillmor’s iconic artwork, and would fit well in a garden-room, sitting-room or bedroom.
Ringed plovers are something of a challenge to those of us at Bee Eater HQ who were not brought up near water, but we’re getting better at picking them out by their distinctive facial plumage – as shown in this exquisite Robert Gillmor design. There’s something Zoro-like about a bird which appears to be wearing a mask!

Robert Gillmor – Preening Stilts Cushion by We Love Cushions
£33.49This beautiful single-sided Preening Stilts cushion is based on Robert Gillmor’s iconic artwork, and would fit well in a garden-room, sitting-room or bedroom.
Stilts are members of the same bird family as Avocets, and the similarities are clear – length of leg and the distinctive black and white of the plumage. However, the Stilt wins hearts with its spectacular pinky red legs. It has the longest leg, proportionate to body size, of any bird – they’re around 60% of its height. This gives them an advantage in the foraging stakes as they can wade out into deeper water than other birds, in a quest for insects which they pick from the surface of the water.
An ideal house-warming gift for young and old alike.
Dimensions: 45 x 45cm • 100% Cotton/Linen Cover • Machine Washable • Removable Fibre Pad

Though hunted to near extinction in the UK, for both their feathers and their meat, Spoonbills are making a surprise comeback with protection of wetlands by farmers and conservationists. The pair featured here are obviously ready for love, as the vibrant yellow on chest and bill appears only during the breeding season.
An ideal house-warming gift for young and old alike.
Dimensions: 45 x 45cm • 100% Cotton/Linen Cover • Machine Washable • Removable Fibre Pad

£33.49A Fox Chanced Upon Waters Edge cushion is based on Robert Gillmor’s iconic artwork. With a single-sided design it would fit well in a garden-room, sitting-room or bedroom.
The subject is a chance meeting between two who may be allies, though often foes – man and fox. Gillmor captures the surprise encounter as the summer sun starts to dip, casting long shadows and silhouettes, with deep greens and the popping russet-red of the fox, conjuring nostalgia.
An ideal house-warming gift for young and old alike.
Dimensions: 45 x 45cm • 100% Cotton/Linen Cover • Machine Washable • Removable Fibre Pad
Robert Gillmor – Ducks Lapwings Falcons II Cushion by We Love Cushions
£33.49This beautiful single-sided Ducks Lapwings Falcon II cushion is one of a complementary pair, based on Robert Gillmor’s iconic artwork, and would fit well in a garden-room, sitting-room or bedroom.
Lapwings are something of a favourite at Bee Eater HQ. With their smart iridescent plumage, distinctive round-winged shape in flight and haunting wail, lapwings can often be spotted during winter on ploughed fields. A group of lapwings is called a ‘deceit’ – named after the way the parent birds lure predators away from their nests by feigning a broken wing! The innocence of the lapwings is off-set in this image by the predatory presence of the falcon overhead.
An ideal house-warming gift for young and old alike.
Dimensions: 45 x 45cm • 100% Cotton/Linen Cover • Machine Washable • Removable Fibre Pad

An ideal house-warming gift for young and old alike.
Dimensions: 45 x 45cm • 100% Cotton/Linen Cover • Machine Washable • Removable Fibre Pad
