🐦 Tristan Moorhen (Gallinula nesiotis) & Gough Moorhen (Gallinula comeri)
This card honours the extinct Tristan Moorhen, which disappeared from the island in the late 19th century.
· The postcard shows a vivid painting of the bird along the island’s shoreline.
· The stamp, issued in 2025, features its close relative, the Gough Moorhen, introduced to Tristan in 1956
· A clear circular cancellation completes the set
This is not just a postcard and stamp, it's a small tribute to biodiversity, loss, and preservation on one of the world’s most isolated inhabited islands.
