Thank you Henriikka!

Steller's eider (Polysticta stelleri) is a migratory duck species found along the areas of the Arctic coast. It feeds on crustaceans, molluscs and other marine and freshwater invertebrates. As can be seen on the stamp issued in 2001, males (front) and females (back) have different coloured plumage with the latter being mostly brown and the former more colourful.

We have recently seen the snowy owl (Bubo scandiacus). Here it is on a stamp issued by Belarus in 2023.

 

Thank you Marina!

Issued in 1991, the stamp shows a little grebe (Tachybaptus ruficollis or Podiceps ruficollis). It has a wide distribution as it can be found in Europe, Africa and Asia. The populations in areas were the water freezes during the winter are migratory. It has ten subspecies. It feeds on insects, small fish, amphibians, molluscs and crustaceans.
