This Year in Stamps

 

2022: Migratory Birds

The yellow wagtails usually arrive from Africa in April and May although they are on decline and on the red list.

2022: Cats

No red list for cats, there are millions of them, no wonder Royal Mail thought it was time to issue of set of stamps. Here we have a Siamese grooming, Ginger cat playing and a tabby doing what they do - stalking and lastly what cats do best sleeping, a British Shorthair snoozing.

2022: Pride (Design: Sophie Birkin)

Its summer so there will be a Pride event somewhere in cities and towns. The stamps mark 50 years since the Trafalgar Square march for gay rights.
2022: Seagull Mischief (Design: James Colmer)

And of course nothing better on a summer's day than an ice cream, at least that is what the seagull is thinking. It probably has its eye on the flake, so easy to swoop in and take.

Sunday Stamps theme this week is - 2022 Issues - travel to  See It On A Postcard

The scavenging seagull is a fun stamp.

Great cat stamps. The USA had some cat and dog stamps a while ago.
