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!
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 – 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
Robert Gillmor – Spoonbill Pair Cushion by We Love Cushions
£33.49This beautiful single-sided Spoonbill Pair cushion is based on Robert Gillmor’s iconic artwork, and would fit well in a garden-room, sitting-room or bedroom.
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
Robert Gillmor – A Fox Chanced Upon Waters Edge Cushion by We Love Cushions
£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 Falcon 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
Robert Gillmor – Ducks Lapwings Falcon I Cushion by We Love Cushions
£33.49This beautiful single-sided Ducks Lapwings Falcon I 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.
The ducks taking centre stage here are Garganeys. Rarely seen due to their shy and secretive habits, there are only just over 100 breeding pairs in the UK. The ducks in the background are Shovelers, their distinctive beaks hidden in the water, but recognisable by their chestnut coloured flanks. The falcon swooping threateningly overhead is a hobby – his red trousers visible along with outspread talons, the dragonfly in front of him his prey.
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 – Snowy Owls Cushion by We Love Cushions
£33.49This beautiful single-sided Snowy Owls cushion is based on Robert Gillmor’s iconic artwork, and would fit well in a garden-room, sitting-room or bedroom. The Snowy Owl is not a British native but may visit the northern reaches of the UK during the coldest spells. With crystal white feathers, dark bars and speckles the Snowy Owls are set off magnificently against the dark blue background of this cushion.
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 – Partridge Meadow Cushion by We Love Cushions
£33.49This beautiful single-sided cushion is based on Robert Gillmor’s iconic artwork, and would fit well in a garden-room, sitting-room or bedroom. The red-legged partridge was introduced to Britain in the 17th century and is far more often spotted than the now rare Grey variety. Small groups of the bird are often seen outside the breeding season and are known as coveys. In this striking illustration by Robert Gillmor, the Partridge’s distinctive red eye and beak are echoed in the crimson of the meadow poppies in the background.
An ideal house-warming gift for young and old alike.
Dimensions: 45 x 45cm • 100% Cotton/Linen Cover • Machine Washable • Removable Fibre Pad
