Five Blackbird Mug by Madeleine Floyd
£12.95The Five Blackbird Mug by Madeleine Floyd features one of our favourite garden birds in an exquisite water colour drawing. One of the delicate drawings is of the fledgling bird, and there’s even a tiny tree blossom painted on the inner rim of the mug.
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 (of which we have a lot!). 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.
The Five Blackbird 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
Sparrow Mug by Madeleine Floyd
£12.95The Sparrow Mug by Madeleine Floyd features a dark coloured tree sparrow in an exquisite water colour drawing.
Slightly smaller than the more common house sparrow, the tree variety has a rich chestnut coloured head and neck and a distinctive black cheek spot. Its call is captured in lettering around the base of the mug. And if egg-spotting is your thing, there’s an illustration of the delicately speckled egg on the other side of the mug!

Chaffinch Mug by Madeleine Floyd
£12.95The Chaffinch Mug by Madeleine Floyd features this gorgeously plumaged bird in an exquisite water colour drawing.
A flash of white on the wings and white outer tail feathers is often the first visual cue that chaffinches are about. Their markings help to camouflage them when feeding on the ground. Their call is loud and they’re often heard before they’re seen!
The chaffinch’s call is also captured in lettering on the mug. And if egg-spotting’s your thing, there’s an illustration of its egg on the other side of the mug!

Yellow Wagtail Mug by Madeleine Floyd
£12.95The Yellow Wagtail Mug by Madeleine Floyd features this much loved bird in an exquisite water colour drawing.
The yellow wagtail, rarer than its pied (ie black and white) relative, is a ground nesting bird. Its nest is a toasty affair – grass on the outside and hair, wool or fur on the inside! The birds overwinter in Africa, arriving back in Britain in the spring where they are often to be seen feeding around the feet of cattle and other grazing livestock.
The call is captured in lettering around the bottom of 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!

Thrush Mug by Madeleine Floyd
£12.95The Thrush Mug by Madeleine Floyd features this much loved garden song bird in an exquisite water colour drawing.
The thrush’s song, with lyrical musical phrases, is as much the reason for our fondness of it, as its speckled breast and its intriguing eating habits – bashing snails against stones to remove the protective shell.
The call, captured in lettering on the mug, doesn’t quite do this songster justice, but if egg-spotting’s your thing, there’s an illustration of a delicately coloured egg on the other side of the mug!

Wren Mug by Madeleine Floyd
£12.95The Wren Mug by Madeleine Floyd features this much loved garden bird in an exquisite water colour drawing.
Weighing as little as 7g, 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!

Bullfinch Mug by Madeleine Floyd
£12.95The Bullfinch Mug by Madeleine Floyd features this gorgeously plumaged bird in an exquisite water colour drawing.
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.
The bullfinch’s gentle call is also captured in lettering on the mug. And if egg-spotting’s your thing, there’s an illustration of its brilliantly coloured egg on the other side of the mug!
The Bullfinch mug by Madeleine Floyd makes an ideal gift for birthdays, house-warming and other occasions.

Stonechat linocut print by Katie Fuller
£40.00Stonechat linocut print by Katie Fuller – Limited Edition
This beautiful Stonechat linocut print by Katie Fuller shows the bird perched on a dried thistle, with cow parsley silhouetted behind. The stonechat’s orange-red breast glows against a pale turquoise background. One of a limited edition of only 12, the print is numbered and signed by the artist.
The stonechat gets his name from his distinctive call – it sounds like two stones being struck together. A heath, bog and conifer tree dweller, the stonechat feeds almost exclusively from insects on the ground, a rare distinction in the avian world.
• Unmounted • Dimensions: 25.5cm height x 20cm width including border • Printed on natural white Strathmore paper • Supplied in clear cellophane envelope
