	BASC - Wigeon at dawn, Lindisfarne - Chris Rose
		This stamp captures the splendour of the European wigeon and the mystical atmosphere of Holy Island and the Lindisfarne National Nature Reserve on the Northumberland coast where traditional waterfowl hunting continues alongside designated refuge areas.
		Since the 1993/4 shooting season all wildfowling permits at Lindisfarne must be validated by a UK Habitat Stamp.
		As a result, the WHT has helped fund management work on the Reserve, particularly the control of the invasive Spartina so as to maintain open mudflats and Zostera beds upon which many of the tens of thousands of ducks, geese, swans and waders using the Reserve depend.
