Bird (Walnut Green) by Jacob Pugh
£33.00Bird (Walnut Green) by Jacob Pugh
Jacob Pugh crafts each of his birds at his furniture workshop in York with loving attention to the finish. Bird (Walnut Green) with its acidic green bib is reminiscent of the Greenfinches which we’re lucky enough to see, occasionally, in our Bee Eater HQ garden!
Though happy to nest in a conifer where food is instantly available, Greenfinches also adore black sunflower seeds, and are a frequent visitor to many garden bird tables where they square up to other birds in order to get (more than their) fair share!
Made in solid walnut, Bird (Walnut Green) is delicately balanced so that it can stand upright and fix you with a beady stare, or you can place it beak down as though drinking or feasting, the choice is yours! Either way, it’s perfect to add a personal touch to your workspace, kitchen, sitting room, study or even the smallest room in the house!
Bird (Walnut Green) makes an ideal gift for young and old alike, comes in its own box and will appeal to bird lovers everywhere.

Bird (Walnut Yellow) by Jacob Pugh
£33.00Bird (Walnut Yellow) by Jacob Pugh
Jacob Pugh crafts each of his birds at his furniture workshop in York with loving attention to the finish. Bird (Walnut Yellow) reminds us (with poetic licence!) of the Yellowhammer which we’re lucky enough to see, occasionally, close to Bee Eater HQ!
An afficionado of hedges and bushes, Yellowhammers have a sweet song. They are currently on the UK Birds of Conservation Concern Red List due to a decline in numbers following loss of habitat.

Seabirds Guillemot Mug by Madeleine Floyd
£12.95The Seabirds Guillemot Mug by Madeleine Floyd features this stylish black (actually brown) and white seabird alongside three of his other sea-going companions and some aquatic plantlife in an exquisite water colour drawing.
The Guillemot’s three companions, the Herring Gull, Gannet and Arctic Skua are all on the conservation list and need protection. The Guillemot however can be seen in significant numbers on steep coastal cliffs though it comes only to nest, spending the rest of its life at sea. It has been something of a favourite here at Bee Eater HQ ever since we heard John Hegley’s irresistible poem, I am a Guillemot. Check it out on YouTube (other video sharing platforms are available).
The Seabirds Guillemot 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
Five Jenny Wren Mug by Madeleine Floyd
£12.95The Five Jenny Wren Mug by Madeleine Floyd features this much loved garden bird five times over, in an exquisite water colour drawing.
Weighing under 10g, 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!

Goldfinch Greetings Card
£2.75Goldfinch Greetings Card
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.
Designed by the highly skilled artist Stephen Lennon, the Goldfinch greetings card is part of his Songbirds and Seedheads range. All Stephen’s designs start as a drawing, often from life, and inspired and informed by his knowledge and love of botany, honed during his time as a nurseryman. 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.
Dimensions square (14cm x 14cm) • FSC accredited carbon offset high white board • Blank inside • White envelope • Biodegradable compostable cellophane wrapped • Standard Letter Post
Chiffchaff Greetings Card
£2.75Chiffchaff Greetings Card
We are particularly delighted to have found an artist who, like we at Bee Eater HQ, has a soft spot for the humble Chiffchaff. We say humble because this delightful bird is shy and he is rarely credited for the accompaniment he invariably provides in woodland, parks and gardens. He blends in remarkably well with his surroundings, his olive brown plumage and even his pale eye stripe making him hard to spot.

Bullfinch Greetings Card
£2.75Bullfinch Greetings Card
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.

Great Tit greetings card
£2.75Great Tit Greetings Card
The Great Tit is, as its name suggests, larger than other tits. In smart plumage with a distinctive black stripe down the front making it appear “waistcoated”, the Great Tit also has an amazing vocal repertoire. Its basic tune, which sounds like “tea-cher, tea-cher tea-cher” on a loop, is only the start. The male bird has four different songs which it can produce at three different tempos!
