Thank you Brian for this cover with two 2003 stamps and a machine cancellation. I have already written about the Peregrine Falcon so I will focus on the 1st stamp of White Wagtail (Motacilla alba). It lives in parts of north Africa, in Europe and in Asia. They birds living in in the colder places migrate in the winter. This bird has 11 subspecies. Its diet includes insects, worms, spiders, snails and sometimes small fish.
