In 2011, Serbia issued a set of four WWF stamps feauturing the partially migratory pygmy cormorant (Microcarbo pygmaeus). Here are two of them. The pygmy cormorant can be found in southeastern Europe and southwestern Asia. It feeds fish. In Iran, it is consumed. It used to be near threatened but now it has been elevated to least concern due to rise in population numbers.

This set was issued in 2009 and it is a joint issue with Bulgaria.
Eurasian Woodcock (Scolopax rusticola): It can be found in temperate and subarctic Eurasia. Its main food is earthworms but its diet also includes insects and their larvae, seeds and freshwater molluscs. It is a game bird.
Rufous-tailed Rock Thrush (Monticola saxatilis): It can be found from southern Europe to central Asia to northern China. In winter it migrates south of the Sahara. It feeds on berries, insects and small reptiles.
