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 2022, the two stamps belong to the migratory birds set. The first one depicts the common swift (Apus apus). They feed on insects they catch while flying and, when not nesting, they spend their time on air. They winter in south Africa and they breed in Europe, Asia and areas of northern Africa.

The second stamp shows a western yellow wagtail (Motacilla flava). It has ten subspecies. They breed in Europe and Asia while they winter in Africa and south Asia. They feed on insects.

Finally, the pictorial postmark shows a pair of Atlantic puffins (Fratercula arctica), which have been discussed in the past.
