Bermuda’s 2023 stamps offer a bit of royalty and a lot of chirping. Bermuda post’s program, usually 4-6 issues a year, starts with two issues for Charles III and his coronation and nicely shifts into showcasing the country’s beauty. 

The best of the year, so far, is July’s Reflections quartet, which offers up beautifully photographed waterfront views. Unfortunately, unlike previous years, no mention is made of either the photographer(s) or designer. As a matter of fact, no details beyond the barebones information is available for any stamps. Last year Bermuda post supplied much more info, so I’m hoping they top up the details at some point before the year ends.  As always, if new info pops up, it’ll be added.
