Being part of the same set, these two stamps were issued in 2021. The stamp to the right shows the saker falcon (Falco cherrug), which has been discussed in the past.
The stamp to the left depicts the horned lark (Eremophila alpestris). It is also known as shore lark and it can be found across the northern hemisphere. It has 42 subspecies. During the summer, males have two tufts of black feathers that look like horns, hence its name. It feeds on invertebrates and plant material. It is listed as of least concern though populations are declining.
