A beautiful early definitive trio from the Faroe Islands issued in 1977, featuring finely illustrated wading birds native to the North Atlantic region.
The set includes:

• 70 Øre – Common Snipe (Gallinago gallinago faeroeensis)

• 180 Øre – Eurasian Oystercatcher (Haematopus ostralegus malacophaga)

• 250 Øre – Whimbrel (Numenius phaeopus phaeopus)

Each stamp showcases artwork by S. D. Scott with printing by Harrison, known for its crisp intaglio-style detail. The designs highlight the islands’ wild wetlands and coastal habitats, making this set highly desirable for collectors of Scandinavian nature, bird-themed philately, and early autonomous Faroe issues. Mint examples are especially sought after due to the set’s low print numbers and enduring popularity among thematic collectors.
