Five British Owls Mug by Madeleine Floyd 300ml
£12.95The Five British Owls Mug by Madeleine Floyd does what it says on the tin, and features all five of our native species of owls, in exquisite water colour. Tawny, Barn, Little, Long- and Short-Eared are all here!
Loss of habitat, the growing human population and changes to agricultural methods are all having an adverse effect on British owls and sadly all are on the conservation list. More often heard than seen, owls have a special place in British animal-lovers’ hearts and we are delighted to have these mugs on our desks at Bee Eater HQ. Five pairs of beady eyes are upon us day and night!

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).

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!
