The creatures of Britain’s rivers and streams are to be celebrated with a series of elegant new stamps and postcards from the Royal Mail this month, as part of a special series featuring eight much- loved native fish, insects, birds and mammals.

The selection includes salmon and brown trout, alongside the kingfisher, water vole and common mayfly. Some anglers might be less thrilled by the inevitable presence of another public favourite, the otter!
Nevertheless, with the current plight of our waterways, it’s great to see a celebration of life in those places that, according to display literature, “bring cultural identity, landscape character and a window into the world of freshwater nature.”
The stamps and cards are available in various formats until October at royalmail.com
