This bird was originally described as it is on this 2005 Sea birds series stamp, as Sterna bregii (Crested tern). Recent DNA testing has moved the bird to its current genus of Thalasseus. Cancelled in Port Moresby, Papua New Guinea  |

From those green hills far away in bonny Ireland in Irish: Sligeach English: Sligo town, County Sligo A European Blackbird (Turdus merula), cousin to the first Blackbird shown and second cousin, twice removed to the third Blackbird shown, on his father's side of the family. I know, it's hard to tell them all apart.  |

A Corn Crake (Corncrake) (Crex crex) joining us from Irish: Baile Coimin English: Blessington, County Wicklow, Ireland.  Wikipedia: Quote:
This crake is in steep decline across much of its former breeding range because modern farming practices often destroy nests before breeding is finished. |

2 birds native to the Philippines flew off on Aug 9, 2011. White-cheeked Bullfinch (Pyrrhula leucogenis) & Writhed Hornbill (Aceros leucocephalus). I suppose "writhed" refers to its twisted bill.  |
