Five Jenny Wren Mug by Madeleine Floyd

£12.95

The 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!

The Five Jenny Wren mug by Madeleine Floyd makes an ideal gift for birthdays, house-warming and other occasions.
