A new British stamp will feature the beaver
To celebrate the work done by conservationists and the successful reintroduction of British plants and animals to the UK following their extinction in the wild, the Royal Mail will release a special collection of stamps on 17th April 2018. One of the stamps will feature the European beaver; the others will feature the osprey, pool frog, sand lizard, large blue butterfly and the stinking hawk’s beard (also Royal Mail Group). The move has received criticism from Tory MP Nigel Evans (e.g. The Sun, iNews).
