Issued in 2010, the s/s depicts the endangered Indian skimmer (Rynchops albicollis). Its upper mandible is shorter than its lower one. Its main prey is fish but it also feeds on small crustaceans and insect larvae.

Thank you Dao for both the cards you sent me from Vietnam, this is the 1st one. The stamp, issued in 2010, is a part of a set of three plus a m/s. The spoon-billed Sandpiper (Eurynorhynchus pygmeus) is a small wader. It can be found in northeastern Russia and in winter, when it migrates, in South and Southeast Asia. It is an endangered species.
