Having used my British stamps before I had to look for something else this week.
'Cor, love a duck' is an old saying and it was American ducks that I found first.
Recently many of these birds have been blown across the North Sea by gales and unfortunately many have perished in Scotland as a result.
As far as I can see the bird on my next stamp does not have webbed feet.

This stamp to commemorate waterfowl conversation was issued on 24 October 1968. This colourful bird is known as a 'perching' duck since it rests on, and nests in holes in, trees.
I chose two stamps from Norway because I could see the birds they showed had webbed feet.

Cepphus Grylle is the black guillemot.
Alle Alle is the little auk.

With a name like purple swamphen it just has to be a water bird.
To see other birds you need to fly over to, and get your feet wet at Sunday-Stamps-ii-57.
