Darwin Jigsaw - Sunday Stamps

I know I have shown one of these stamps before which were issued in 2009 to commemorate the 200th anniversary of the birth of Charles Darwin. However I decided to show it again with the First Class stamp from the same set.
Great Britain - Charles Darwin
The other jigsaw pieces in the set represented:
Great Britain - Darwin - Zoology
I do not have the others, but they were.
  • 50p Ornithology (Finches)
  • 56p Geology (Aerial view of Galapagos Islands)
  • 72p Botany (Orchid)
  • 81p Anthropology (Ape)
There were four more stamps of conventional (oblong) shape; two First Class showing a flightless cormorant, and a giant tortoise and a cactus finch; two at 81p of a marine iguana and a mocking bird

I'll keep and eye out for these with my market trader.

For other shapes and sizes check out those offered at Viridian's Sunday-stamps-125.
