Great White Egret Greetings Card
£2.75Great White Egret Greetings Card
The Great White Egret is a relatively recent resident in the UK and is the largest of the three egret species which can now be found here. Similar in size to the Heron, it has black feet and legs (distinguishing it from the Little Egret). Like the Heron, the Great White Egret stalks its prey patiently, standing still for long periods, which makes it easy to spot.
Designed by the highly skilled artist Stephen Lennon, the Great White Egret greetings card is part of his Wildfowl and Wetland Birds range. All Stephen’s designs start as a drawing, often from life. 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.

Kingfisher Greetings Card
£2.75Kingfisher Greetings Card
The Kingfisher which is so recognisable by its azure and copper plumage is one of the most popular British river birds. It eats small fish, stunning them on a branch before wolfing them down, head-first. When feeding a brood, both kingfisher parents will be particularly busy as each chick can eat up to 18 fish per day! Kingfishers live in self-excavated burrows which though only 5cm in diameter may be well over a metre deep!

Coot in Reeds Greetings Card
£2.75Coot in Reeds Greetings Card
The Coot is identifiable by its distinctive white beak and ‘shield’ against the rest of its body which is all black. That beak and shield have earned it the title ‘bald’ (as in “bald as a coot”). Its feet appear webbed due to flaps of skin on the toes and they seem disproportionate to its body, as shown in this illustration. It is a messy nester and can be aggressive towards other birds.

Mute Swan and Reeds Greetings Card
£2.75Mute Swan and Reeds Greetings Card
The Mute Swan is the largest of the UK swans, and gets its name from its relatively unheard voice (compared to its noisy relative, the Whooper Swan which is named for its in-flight call). Its graceful S-shaped neck and distinctive orange and black bill and bump ensure that it rarely goes unnoticed.
