Set against the landscape of the Ribble Estuary, this year’s artwork captures the Eurasian wigeon in its 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 actually began with a pair of binoculars rather than a paintbrush and who describes himself as a dedicated birdwatcher long before he ever considered himself an artist. Chris’ detailed approach brings the character of Britain’s birdlife to life.
Professionally presented, the mini sheet offers a unique way to celebrate 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 Mini Sheet is ideal for stamp collectors, wildlife enthusiasts and anyone passionate about protecting Britain’s countryside and its wildlife.
