After a public consultation last year, the Bank of England announced in March 2026 that nature will be the theme for our next series of banknote designs. A shortlist of native animals has been produced, and now it’s up to us, the public, to vote for the central image on the £5, £10, £20 and £50 notes.
We’re Team Kingfisher
For many of us, our first glimpse of a kingfisher may well have been by our local canal or river.
At the Trust, we see kingfishers as more than a beautiful bird. They’re a sign of healthy, thriving waterways. Something we work every day to protect. We think they’d be right at home on our banknotes too.
Vote for the kingfisher before Friday 3 July.
