Seabirds Puffin Mug by Madeleine Floyd
£12.95The Seabirds Puffin Mug by Madeleine Floyd features this comic sea bird alongside three of his other sea-going companions and some aquatic plantlife in an exquisite water colour drawing.
All four birds are on the conservation list and need protection, though the Puffin is the most endangered of them. The Common and Black-headed Gulls are both to be seen on Britain’s sea shores throughout the year. Confusingly, the Black-headed Gull is actually more common than the Common Gull and has a brown head (rather than a black one) for most of the year. The Sanderling is a passing visitor, prefering to spend cool summers in the Arctic! Its peculiar scampering gait is on account of it only having three toes where other waders have four.

Capacity 300ml • Recommended hand wash only • High quality china • Dimensions: height 8cm x width 7cm
Puffin Mug by Madeleine Floyd
£12.95The Puffin Mug by Madeleine Floyd features this comic sea bird in an exquisite water colour drawing.
The most colourful of the Auk family these loyal little birds mate for life but take a break from each other over Winter before reuniting at their breeding grounds in Spring. Sadly they have been on the endangered species list since 2015.
The puffin’s grunting growling call is captured in lettering on the mug. And if egg-spotting’s your thing, there’s an illustration of its egg – white with hints of purple – on the other side of the mug!

Avocet Mug by Madeleine Floyd
£12.95The Avocet Mug by Madeleine Floyd features this delicate wading bird in an exquisite water colour drawing.
Avocets are an East Anglian post-war success story having been absent from British coastal wetlands for half a century thanks to over-enthusiastic Victorian egg hunters! For this reason, they were chosen as the emblem of the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds.
The distinctive black and white plumage as well as the long curved bill make them a joy to watch when feeding on the waters edge – they sweep the water with their bill, feeding on crustaceans and larvae.
The avocet’s gentle call is also captured in lettering on the mug. And if egg-spotting’s your thing, there’s an illustration of its blotchy brown 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!

Green Woodpecker Mug by Madeleine Floyd
£12.95The Green Woodpecker Mug by Madeleine Floyd features this secretive woodland bird in an exquisite water colour drawing.
An avian ant-eater, the Green Woodpecker has a spectacularly long, sticky tongue which enables it to hoover up the tiny insects. When not hoovering, its tongue is so long it has to coil within the skull in order to fit inside the woodpecker’s head! Its strong bill allows it to create hollows in trees for nests as well as to probe the ground for its main food source.
The green woodpecker’s laughing call is also 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!

Goldfinch Mug by Madeleine Floyd
£12.95The Goldfinch Mug by Madeleine Floyd features this distinctive garden bird in an exquisite water colour drawing.
The Goldfinch (Carduelis Carduelis) is one of the UK’s most brightly coloured birds with its wonderful red mask and yellow wings. Encouragingly they seem to be making a comeback, being spotted in two thirds of all our gardens in the RSPB’s recent annual Bird Watch.
This little bird’s excited song is captured in lettering around the base of the mug. And if egg-spotting’s your thing, there’s an illustration of a delicately coloured egg – pale blue with reddish patterns – on the other side of the mug!

Nuthatch Mug by Madeleine Floyd
£12.95The Nuthatch Mug by Madeleine Floyd features this lesser known garden bird in an exquisite water colour drawing.
The blue-grey, white and chestnut-coloured nuthatch is an avian acrobat, able to descend head-first and hang upside down beneath twigs and branches. Nuthatches will sometimes plaster mud around the entrance of their nesting hole, which makes it smaller and less accessible to competitors and predators. It also gives them their alternative name of mud dabbler or mud stopper!
This little bird’s song is captured in lettering around the base of the mug, a loud, piping call. And if egg-spotting’s your thing, there’s an illustration of a delicately coloured egg – creamy with reddish brown – on the other side of the mug!

Robin Mug by Madeleine Floyd
£12.95The Robin Mug by Madeleine Floyd features this cheerful songbird in an exquisite water colour drawing.
The robin is one of the UK’s most well-loved garden birds and is considered by some to be our national bird. Whilst most survive barely more than a year, the oldest robin clocked up 19 years! The last to bed and the first to rise, the robin is a year round companion to gardeners and tolerates humans more readily than most garden birds.
This little bird’s song which is captured in lettering around the base of the mug, is as distinctive as his colours, and is at its strongest in winter in order to defend territory and attract the attentions of a mate. And if egg-spotting’s your thing, there’s an illustration of the delicately brown speckled egg of the robin on the other side of the mug!
