Thank you Edwin for this great cover from Bahrain using stamps issued in 1991.

The crested lark (Galerida cristata) can be found in Europe, Asia and north Africa. It has 33 subspecies. They feed mostly on grain and seeds but they also eat insects.

We have already seen the Eurasian hoopoe (Upupa epops) a number of times.

The white-eared bulbul (Pycnonotus leucotis) resides in southwestern Asia. It has two subspecies. It is monogamous and it feeds on fruit, plants and invertebrates.
