Set against the landscape of the Ribble Estuary, the 2026 BASC Wildlife Fund Habitat Stamp features Eurasian wigeon within their natural wetland habitat. The estuary is an important site for wintering wildfowl, providing valuable habitat for the birds that visit our shores each year.

The 2026 stamp artwork has been created by wildlife artist Chris Lodge, whose journey into art began with a pair of binoculars rather than a paintbrush. A dedicated birdwatcher long before considering himself an artist, Chris brings his understanding and appreciation of Britain’s birdlife to his detailed artwork.

Professionally presented, this individual Habitat Stamp offers a unique way to celebrate British wildfowl while supporting the important conservation work of the BASC Wildlife Fund.

Every purchase helps support the BASC Wildlife Fund and its work to protect and enhance habitats, support biodiversity and deliver practical conservation projects across the UK.

A thoughtful addition to any collection, the 2026 BASC Wildlife Fund Habitat Stamp is ideal for stamp collectors, wildlife enthusiasts and anyone passionate about protecting Britain’s countryside and its wildlife.
