Hedgerow Birds Robin Suffolk Shape Mug Officially the UK’s favourite bird, the red-breasted Robin is associated with winter and especially Christmas, but it actually sings all year round. It is portrayed with great detail on this mug from Dunoon, perched on a wild rose; a passing butterfly indicating the arrival of the warmer months. This delightful mug with its traditional curved shape will be welcomed by garden lovers and bird enthusiasts alike, and makes a lovely Mother’s Day gift Richard Partis was born in Somerset in 1964.
