They are so colourful and cute.<br />Interesting that both the Norwegian ducks are black.<br />(and I say "lord, love a duck" all the time. not sure why, but it has become a favourite saying these last few years. I assume my mother used to say it)VioletSkyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10222821877918680480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1050717887740211904.post-75703762818559952222016-01-17T12:50:55.375+00:002016-01-17T12:50:55.375+00:00The flying ducks on the first stamp are my favouri...The flying ducks on the first stamp are my favourite.

The different feet have evolved so much relative to their surroundings ... the swamphen with its large foot area, spaced by the claw feet giving it the ability to almost walk across water.<br /><br />Nature is sending birds off in all directions this year ... but it does sort itself out - if we give the species a chance. Wonderful selection of birds - cheers and oh yes 'love a duck' ... such a good saying ... cheers HilaryHilary Melton-Butcherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17596532480645510678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1050717887740211904.post-58280251975917245192016-01-17T11:43:47.950+00:002016-01-17T11:43:47.950+00:00I like the 'snowy' background to the Norwe...I like the 'snowy' background to the Norwegian stamps which makes the birds stand out.
