Welcome to my collection. My topic is birds and I collect mostly covers but I will show you a variety of philatelic material that is part my collection.

Issued in 2013, the stamps belong to a set of four feauturing Australian species of kingfishers.

The first stamp depicts a male blue-winged kookaburra (Dacelo leachii). Males have blue tails while females have rufous ones. It has four subspecies. It feeds on insects, spiders and other arthropods, lizards, frogs, fish, earthworms, rodents and small birds.

The second stamp shows a sacred kingfisher (Todiramphus sanctus), which has been discussed in the past.
