Ducks

Ducks

A set of 10 stamps showcasing some of the species of wild and domesticated breeds of duck in the UK. Of over 120 duck species globally, 22 are found in the UK, inhabiting our rivers, wetlands, coasts, and estuaries.
Ducks have become surprisingly collectible (albeit mostly the rubber variety!) and are now a full-blown TikTok sensation with adorable ducks waddling through kitchens to pet ducks splashing in bath tubs, the hashtag #ducks have racked up hundreds of thousands of posts and millions of views.
Our handstamp for this issue has the postal address ‘Ducks Bill, Seaton’ which is not a postal address but a location and so should not have been permitted. We submitted a revised version – ‘Ducks St, Bridport, DT6 6JR’ which met the criteria but for some unknown reason, Royal Mail issued the original version!
