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 2007, these stamps depict the yellow-rumped flycatcher (Ficedula zanthopygia) and the stork-billed kingfisher (Pelargopsis capensis).

The yellow-rumped flycatcher can be found in eastern Asia and it is migratory. The male, depicted on the stamp, is more brightly coloured than the female. The latter is of olive-green or greyish colour while the former has black upper head, wings and tail, white supercilium and wingpatch and bright yellow throat and belly. It feeds on small invertebrates.

The stork-billed kingfisher is a large kingfisher native to southwestern Asia. It has thirteen subspecies. It feeds on fish, crustaceans, frogs, lizards, rodents, insects and young birds.
