Sadly, Australia Post has again increased postage rates for both international and domestic mail. This means my postage rates are also increasing as from July 2025.

IMPORTANT NOTE: In general, I do NOT swap/exchange stamps, unless all details are agreed BEFORE anything is sent. PLEASE DO NOT SEND STAMPS WITHOUT CONSULTATION.

I've been collecting stamps since 1962, and have a large collection of mostly used, some mint. In recent years I stopped collecting worldwide countries, and have changed to thematics (birds, mammals, reptiles, amphibians, fish and other marine fauna, spiders). I try to obtain at least one stamp for each species, not everything on the subject. I am interested in any of the above thematics, mint, used or CTO. In general I prefer to buy and sell, not swapping.

I am particularly passionate about birds, and bird stamps. So far I have over 2,750 bird species on stamps. I have been an amateur ornithologist for 50 years, with over 3,500 species seen and identified in the wild. For 20 years I have also been a proof-reading contributor to the Clements/eBird Checklist of Birds of the World.

My general stamp collection is available for sale. I am selling this on Colnect little by little as time permits. Do check back from time to time for new listings/countries. There are still many countries to put online. Latest new/enlarged countries for sale: NIGERIA, ADEN, SOUTH ARABIA, YEMEN (P.D.R.), HADRAMAUT (Qu'aiti, Kathiri),CYPRUS, NORTHERN CYPRUS, PAPUA, NIUE, THAILAND, HONDURAS, CHINA - U.S. Post, CHINA - Russian Post, VENDA, NAURU, FALKLAND IS.
