This beautiful Irish stamp, issued in 1979, features the Red Fox (Vulpes vulpes), known in Irish as “Sionnach.” Part of Ireland’s Wildlife definitive series, it highlights the rich natural heritage of Éire. The fox is finely illustrated in a natural setting, its reddish coat and striking gaze captured with detail. With a face value of 16 pence, it reflects Ireland’s commitment to showcasing native fauna on postage. A wonderful addition for collectors of wildlife, Ireland, or European fauna themes, this issue carries both artistic and cultural significance.
