Traveling Birds-Clearly Postmarked

The national bird of Montserrat, the Montserrat Oriole (Icterus oberi)
on a Redonda, Antigua stamp. Redonda is part of Antigua & Barbuda, is uninhabited, so this cover must have been postmarked in Antigua.. Montserrat is a British Overseas Territory, another island in the Leeward Islands.

Glossy Ibis (Plegadis falcinellus) on a 1984 Montserrat definitive,
postmarked Plymouth, Montserrat in 1986

This thread and the map can only be described as amazing! Great work Akeela and Leng. I received a black-faced spoonbill from Hong Kong last week and was happy to think that I could add to the database... nope, already on the map. Must try harder

Scifi7, yes the spoonbill is already there but I think you can add any other birds from Hong Kong, it's not limited to one entry for each town/city. Agreed, it's amazing to have so many birds on the map now!

White-tailed Eagle or Haliaeetus albicilla from town of Santarem in Portugal.
This stamp was issued in 2009, a joint issue with Iran.

Arrived from Hong Kong yesterday:



White Wagtail
Common Kingfisher
Greater Painted-Snipe
Barn Swallow

They're on the map!

Thanks Leng! I wish I had more to post here.

I received a heap of mail from Mountain Lakes, New Jersey USA this week
On cover are two of the new 85c raptor stamps, Golden Eagle ( Aquila chrysaetos) and Peregrine Falcon (Falco peregrinus)

In the same packet were two 1959 real posted registered FDC sent from the former Czechoslovakia to USA.
The complete set on two covers the names of the birds are;
20h Great Spotted Woodpecker ( Dendrocopos major)
30h Eurasian Blue Tit ( Cyanistes caeruleus)
40h Eurasian Nuthatch (Sitta europaea )
60h Eurasian Golden Oriole( Oriolus oriolus)
80h European Goldfinch ( Carduelis carduelis)
1k Eurasian Bullfinch ( Pyrrhula pyrrhula)
1.20k Common Kingfisher ( Alcedo atthis)

OK, where is the complaints department?

I almost went and bought off ebay three regular cover with bird stamped on and cancels. But I couldn't read the cancels clearly. So that stopped me.

What has happened to me? I have never bought bird covers before. Or bird stamps. Well maybe once. Or Twice. But not like this!

There was this little voice telling me that the bird covers were nice and oh, isn't that a nice owl stamp and hmmm, most of the cancels seem nice. Aaaah, I'm doomed, doomed I tell you. I need a new binder and pages for bird stamps now.

Oh, I found this Isle of Mann bird stamp I have to scan tomorrow, so-so cancel. Hiding away in a box in the other room.

Doomed!

Hope to see your bird stamps & covers soon Puzzler!
Looks like you're hooked on birds now!

Great to hear it Puzzler, but what will your avatar think?? Hehe. I am a completely amateur birdwatcher and also wish I had more bird stamps.

Berna, nice birds, thank you.
The Russian one with the storks is amazing.

Travelling Birds wants birds with cancels, showing where the stamp was used, in the regular postal system.

There is another thread with just bird stamps here:
