| 2019: Europa - National Birds (Design - Mark Wilkinson) |
The Europa theme for 2019 was national birds but what happens when your tiny island doesn't have one? No problem if you have hired the imaginative Mark Wilkinson. Birds and Symbolism was Jersey's answer. The cover above has a cormorant on the corner and it and all the birds on the stamps can be seen on Jersey.

| 2017: Meadow Pipit (Design - Andrew Robinson) |
so I had to turn to their sister island of Guernsey for the lovely Meadow Pipit. The peacock is all show and dazzle but this little brown bird is just a welcome and rather more difficult to spot in its natural habitat.

That was an innovative, and lovely, solution. The peacock was a surprise (and I still wonder at how something so flamboyantly beautiful could have such a terrible squawk)
I did not know the kingfisher stood for peace and calm.
A great set.
Superb series - great bird stamps.
These stamps would look wonderful on envelopes. The illustrations are superb.
