Issued in 2023, this souvenir sheet depicts a black swan (Cygnus atratus) with its youngs. This waterbird is indigenous to Australia but it was introduced to various other countries in the recent past. They pair for life and they feed primarily on aquatic plants.

Thank you Roman for this great cover from Saint Pierre and Miquelon. The first stamp, issued in 2019, depicts a bay-breasted warbler (Setophaga castanea) while the second one, issued in 2020, shows a greater yellowlegs (Tringa melanoleuca).

 

Just a short post to show I am still around. I don't know how often I will be updating the blog but here is a Turks and Caicos cover I received back in 2011. The depicted bird is the red-tailed hawk (Buteo jamaicensis).
