Alderney Definitives 2 - Corals and Anemones
4 new definitives featuring coral and anemones living in the clear waters around Alderney.
Many people will be familiar with one or two species of anemone, but they are just a tiny part of the fascinating and colourful group of sea creatures that also include corals. The family resemblance is not always obvious but all share the same basic structure of a polyp with a central mouth surrounded by stinging tentacles.

Clever Kiwis
New Zealanders have always been known for their inventiveness – their uncanny ability to think of ingeniously clever ways of doing things with the bare minimum of resources. It's not surprising really; the Polynesian and European pioneers who settled this country had little choice but to think laterally, act practically and never, never give up!
Kiwis have a remarkable history of turning great ideas into reality – creating 'world first' products and techniques that transform the lives of people and businesses around the world. These five stamps feature five of New Zealand's most successful inventions.
