This set of definitive stamps features four species of ducks native to the United Kingdom: the Mallard, Tufted Duck, Eider, and Shelduck. The designs are based on new woodcut illustrations by artist Jonathan Gibbs, showcasing the birds in their natural habitats. These stamps replace the previous Machin definitive series for these values.

Issued in 2024, these stamps mark a significant design change in UK definitive postage, moving from the long-standing Machin Head portrait of Queen Elizabeth II to wildlife themes under the reign of King Charles III.
