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.
Designed by the highly skilled artist Stephen Lennon, the Chiffchaff 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.

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!
Designed by the highly skilled artist Stephen Lennon, the Great Tit greetings card is part of his Songbirds & Seedheads range. Stephen’s designs start as a drawing, often from life, inspired and informed by his considerable botanical knowledge honed 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.

Coal Tit greetings card
£2.75Coal Tit Greetings Card
A busy little bird, the Coal Tit is rarely still, and feeds avidly in conifers. It has a distinctive grey back, black cap, and white patch at the back of its neck which makes it easy to identify especially when on a feeder and a trilling call.
Designed by the highly skilled artist Stephen Lennon, the Coal Tit greetings card is part of his Songbirds & Seedheads range. Stephen’s designs start as a drawing, often from life, inspired and informed by his considerable botanical knowledge honed as a nurseryman.

Nuthatch greetings card
£2.75Nuthatch Greetings Card
This blue-grey, white and chestnut-coloured bird is an avian acrobat, able to descend head-first and hang upside down beneath twigs and branches. Nuthatches will sometimes plaster mud around the entrance of their nesting hole, which makes it smaller and less accessible to competitors and predators.

Blue Tit greetings card
£2.75Blue Tit Greetings Card
Her latin name – Cyanistes Caeruleus – clearly identifies the blue tit by her beautiful colours. With a body mass of just 10g she’s small but beautifully formed, featured here perched on a seedhead, looking for tasty treats no doubt!

Wren greetings card
£2.75Wren Greetings Card
Jenny Wren’s Latin name Troglogytes Troglodytes has to be one of the most incongruous in nature indicating that she’s a cave dweller!
Designed by the highly skilled artist Stephen Lennon, the Wren greetings card is part of his Songbirds & Seedheads range. Stephen’s designs start as a drawing, often from life, inspired and informed by his considerable botanical knowledge honed as a nurseryman.

Blackbird Greetings Card
£2.75Blackbird Greetings Card
The Blackbird is found throughout Britain and is particularly to be seen in parks and gardens. You may hear it from January onwards often after rain (every cloud has a silver lining!). It is also a home loving bird – most do not move far from where they hatched, in order to make a nest and have their own family.
Designed by the highly skilled artist Stephen Lennon, the Blackbird greetings card is part of his Songbirds and Seedheads range. It elevates the humble blackbird to a new status we believe (and yes, we’re biased), showing the bird in splendid juxtaposition to both the seedheads and the acidic green of its surroundings. 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.

Nightingale Greetings Card
£2.75Nightingale Greetings Card
Though known for its lilting and beautiful song, the Nightingale is rarely seen, not least as it nests close to the ground in dense undergrowth. It is the male whose song is so lyrical, the female by contrast keeps stum! The nightingale’s brain accounts for its vast vocal repertoire – the part of the brain responsible for producing sound is much larger in the nightingale than in other vocal competitors. This allows him to produce up to 1,000 different sounds! The skylark and blackbird come a poor second and third to with just 340 and 100 noises to their names, respectively.

Siskin Greetings Card
£2.75Siskin Greetings Card
The Siskin is a diminuitive forest dweller also to be seen in gardens and along lanes and hedgerows. In winter they flock, alongside redpolls, feeding on seeds which their finch-like bill is purpose-made for.

Wild Roses and Wren Greetings Card
£2.75Wild Roses and Wren Greetings Card
The Wild Rose is the epitome of a country garden or hedgerow and has been immortalised in song and verse since well before the times of Shakespeare. The Wren too has her place in the literary pantheon being cited in Macbeth as an example of parental bravery.
