Wren Mug by Madeleine Floyd
£13.95The Wren Mug by Madeleine Floyd features this much loved garden bird in an exquisite water colour drawing.
Weighing as little as 7g, the wren is a truly tiny troglodyte (this is its Latin name, meaning cave-dweller). Hard to spot due to its size, hedge-coloured plumage and rapid darting movements, the wren’s flicking tail is often the visual cue that alerts us to its presence.
More often heard than seen, the Wren has a call the volume of which belies its diminutive size, and this is captured in lettering on the mug. And if egg-spotting’s your thing, there’s an illustration of a delicately coloured egg on the other side of the mug!
The Wren 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
Gannet Mug by Madeleine Floyd
£13.95The Gannet Mug by Madeleine Floyd features this seabird in an exquisite water colour drawing.
The Bee Eater staff summer outing always takes us to Bempton Cliffs, the gannet’s largest mainland breeding colony in Britain. A voracious feeder who dives from height and at speed to take the fish it wants, the gannet has become a byword for greed.
There’s nothing quiet about the gannet and its metallic call is also captured in lettering on the mug. And if egg-spotting’s your thing, there’s an illustration of a delicately coloured egg on the other side of the mug!

Lapwing Mug by Madeleine Floyd
£13.95The Lapwing Mug by Madeleine Floyd features this farmland bird in an exquisite water colour drawing.
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 Lapwing’s signature “peewit” call is also captured in lettering on the mug. And if egg-spotting’s your thing, there’s an illustration of a delicately coloured egg on the other side of the mug!

Curlew Mug by Madeleine Floyd
£13.95The Curlew Mug by Madeleine Floyd features this large wading bird which is known as much for its haunting call as for its distinctive curved bill.
Grasslands, farmland, heath and moor all play host to the Curlew who uses its long down-curved bill to search the mud for worms, shellfish and shrimps. Its eponymous “coor-lew” call is depicted in lettering around the base of the mug, and if you’re into egg-spotting, the Curlew’s pale creamy egg with brown markings is depicted on the other side of the mug.

Seabirds Puffin Mug by Madeleine Floyd
£13.95The Seabirds Puffin Mug by Madeleine Floyd features this comic sea bird alongside three of his other sea-going companions and some aquatic plantlife in an exquisite water colour drawing.
All four birds are on the conservation list and need protection, though the Puffin is the most endangered of them. The Common and Black-headed Gulls are both to be seen on Britain’s sea shores throughout the year. Confusingly, the Black-headed Gull is actually more common than the Common Gull and has a brown head (rather than a black one) for most of the year. The Sanderling is a passing visitor, prefering to spend cool summers in the Arctic! Its peculiar scampering gait is on account of it only having three toes where other waders have four.

Puffin Mug by Madeleine Floyd
£13.95The Puffin Mug by Madeleine Floyd features this comic sea bird in an exquisite water colour drawing.
The most colourful of the Auk family these loyal little birds mate for life but take a break from each other over Winter before reuniting at their breeding grounds in Spring. Sadly they have been on the endangered species list since 2015.
The puffin’s grunting growling call is captured in lettering on the mug. And if egg-spotting’s your thing, there’s an illustration of its egg – white with hints of purple – on the other side of the mug!

Avocet Mug by Madeleine Floyd
£13.95The Avocet Mug by Madeleine Floyd features this delicate wading bird in an exquisite water colour drawing.
Avocets are an East Anglian post-war success story having been absent from British coastal wetlands for half a century thanks to over-enthusiastic Victorian egg hunters! For this reason, they were chosen as the emblem of the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds.
The distinctive black and white plumage as well as the long curved bill make them a joy to watch when feeding on the waters edge – they sweep the water with their bill, feeding on crustaceans and larvae.
The avocet’s gentle call is also captured in lettering on the mug. And if egg-spotting’s your thing, there’s an illustration of its blotchy brown egg on the other side of the mug!

Bullfinch Mug by Madeleine Floyd
£13.95The Bullfinch Mug by Madeleine Floyd features this gorgeously plumaged bird in an exquisite water colour drawing.
Many garden and songbirds have names which don’t appear to do them justice (check out the beleaguered wren and thrush) but the Latin name of the bullfinch – Pyrrhula pyrrhula – is one which really appeals to us!
An adaptable feeder, the bullfinch will eat buds and shoots in spring and, handily, has a special sac at the foot of its mouth to store food. When a high protein diet for the family is called for, the bullfinch will find insects to feed its young.
The bullfinch’s gentle call is also captured in lettering on the mug. And if egg-spotting’s your thing, there’s an illustration of its brilliantly coloured egg on the other side of the mug!

Green Woodpecker Mug by Madeleine Floyd
£13.95The Green Woodpecker Mug by Madeleine Floyd features this secretive woodland bird in an exquisite water colour drawing.
An avian ant-eater, the Green Woodpecker has a spectacularly long, sticky tongue which enables it to hoover up the tiny insects. When not hoovering, its tongue is so long it has to coil within the skull in order to fit inside the woodpecker’s head! Its strong bill allows it to create hollows in trees for nests as well as to probe the ground for its main food source.
The green woodpecker’s laughing call is also captured in lettering on the mug. And if egg-spotting’s your thing, there’s an illustration of a delicately coloured egg on the other side of the mug!

Goldfinch Mug by Madeleine Floyd
£13.95The Goldfinch Mug by Madeleine Floyd features this distinctive garden bird in an exquisite water colour drawing.
The Goldfinch (Carduelis Carduelis) is one of the UK’s most brightly coloured birds with its wonderful red mask and yellow wings. Encouragingly they seem to be making a comeback, being spotted in two thirds of all our gardens in the RSPB’s recent annual Bird Watch.
This little bird’s excited song is captured in lettering around the base of the mug. And if egg-spotting’s your thing, there’s an illustration of a delicately coloured egg – pale blue with reddish patterns – on the other side of the mug!
