 I'm happy to be back after flying to a new country and now getting organised in a new house where I have just installed a new scanner, ..to prove that here's the latest bird from my mailbox: Posted recently from Witspos,Johannesburg, South Africa, a White-fronted Bee-eater (Merops bullockoides ) from the 7th definitive series which was first issued in 2000. This stamp was reprinted in 2002 in a 13p count.  |

These look like stamps, are the equivalent of stamps, but would you include them in your bird stamp albums....  the dreaded self-adhesive ATM postage labels issued by Denmark 10th September 2011, posted from Copenhagen. Common Shelduck, Tufted duck and Mallard  |

Don't know if this will make the cut. But here's a nice Canadian prestamped envelope with a ruby throated hummingbird (Archilochus colubris) labeled and all ready to go to Indonesia. But it was never sent. The return label (with another bird from the Canadian Wildlife Federation) says Shallow Lake, Ontario.   I'll leave this one to your discretion, since it never really got there. |

That's a very attractive pre-paid cover with the hummingbird, needs a postmark to get on the map. I have several of these Canadian pre paid bird covers in mint condition and would like to send them to someone in Canada who can get them hand cancelled and post back to me.  |
