I had quite a choice for this week's Sunday Stamps theme but in the end decided on this set of 4 bird stamps from Great Britain, c.1966. Clockwise from top left they are: Robin, Blue Tit, Blackbird and Black Headed Gull. I still see the first 3 on a regular basis in my garden, but the gull is generally only seen on the coast.

I'm glad you posted the robin and the blackbird; I only had the other two to show. The blackbirds think they own my garden.
ReplyDeleteThe robin looks different than the robins we have here.
ReplyDeleteI see the gulls more than any of the others, though they are here too.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Postcardy. What nice colors on your Robin. The Blue Tit is a great looking stamp.
ReplyDeleteOur Robins here usually have the orange breast.

Yes the New World robins are different and have a different body shape too. the early English pilgrims must have been homesick for their little bird.
ReplyDeleteThanks for participating.
The American Robin is the size of a UK Blackbird, The British Robin is a smaller bird.
