Long Eared Owl Mug by Madeleine Floyd

£12.95

The Long Eared Owl Mug by Madeleine Floyd depicts the owl in exquisite water colour.

Named for the feather tufts which resemble mammalian ears, the Long Eared Owl is a UK native.  It raises its “ear” tufts when alarmed, which in turn may alarm any creature which spies it!  With beautiful orange eyes and dark brown feathers, the bird is excellently camouflaged particularly when in woodland, and is therefore harder to spot than other resident species of owls.

On the reverse of the mug is a delicate line drawing of a baby Long Eared Owlet in flight (or free fall!), and inside the rim a tiny feather.

The Long Eared Owl mug by Madeleine Floyd makes an ideal gift for birthdays, house-warming and other occasions.  And for perfect owl-awareness why not pair it with an Owls Apron by the same designer?

Capacity 300ml • Recommended hand wash only • High quality china • Dimensions: height 9cm x width 8.5cm

Tawny Owl Mug by Madeleine Floyd

£12.95

The Tawny Owl Mug by Madeleine Floyd depicts the owl in exquisite water colour.

The owl’s dark eyes indicate that he hunts by night.  A bit of an omnivore, the Tawny Owl will eat a range of small mammals and rodents as well as small birds, frogs, fish, insects and worms.  Their familiar call – Twit Twoo – is actually the combined conversation of a male and a female.  If you hear a truncated call, it may well be a youngster, establishing his own territory for the first time!

Although there are an estimated 50,000 pairs of Tawny Owls in the UK, they are now on the Amber list due to concerns about long term decline.

On the reverse of the mug is a delicate line drawing of the Tawny Owl in flight, and inside the rim a tiny feather.

Short Eared Owl Mug by Madeleine Floyd

£12.95

The Short Eared Owl Mug by Madeleine Floyd depicts the owl in exquisite water colour.

The owl’s yellow eyes indicate that, unusually, he is a daytime hunter.  Easiest to spot during winter, he’s a similar size to the more ubiquitous Tawny Owl, but with longer wings, and can be found on moorland and salt marshes.  Resident numbers are boosted by migrants arriving to over-winter, from Iceland, Russia and Scandinavia.  Short Eared Owl numbers have declined so dramatically that they are now on the Amber conservation list – there are only an estimated 2,000 pairs now in the UK.

On the reverse of the mug is a delicate line drawing of the owl going in for the kill, and inside the rim a tiny feather.

Little Owl Mug by Madeleine Floyd

£12.95

The Little Owl Mug by Madeleine Floyd shows the smallest of the UK owls in exquisite water colour.

Not actually a native to the UK, the Little Owl was introduced in the 19th century.  It nests in tree cavities and though it hunts by night, can often be seen in the daytime, perched up high and basking in sunshine!  When it does hunt, it will do so from a perch rather than on the wing, and its most recognisable trait is the bobbing which occurs before it pounces on prey.  Sadly Little Owl numbers have declined dramatically and there are only an estimated 6,000 pairs now in the UK.

On the reverse of the mug is a delicate line drawing of three Little Owl chicks, or owlets, and inside the rim a tiny feather.

Starling Mug by Madeleine Floyd

£12.95

The Starling Mug by Madeleine Floyd features this regular garden visitor in an exquisite water colour drawing.

We feel that the starling is somewhat misunderstood!  When she’s not murmurating around with her mates, the starling can often be found in UK gardens, showing off her glossy green and purple-black feathers.  Though famed for their incredible murmurations of flocks sometimes numbering tens of thousands, Starling numbers have been greatly declining over the past few decades and they are currently on the Red list.

There’s bird song captured in lettering around the base of the mug – a gregarious tcheer…ful call – and if egg-spotting’s your thing, there’s an illustration of a delicately coloured egg – pale blue – on the other side of the mug!

The Starling mug by Madeleine Floyd makes an ideal gift for birthdays, house-warming and other occasions.

Capacity 300ml • Recommended hand wash only • High quality china • Dimensions: height 8cm x width 7cm
