If you Google postal codes (I have tried Australia and Canada) you will get a map showing you the location of that post office. |

Here is an entire flock of Cobb's Wren (Troglodytes cobbi) flying in from Stanley, Falkland Islands. Not certain if you would find any more Cobb's Wren as they are endemic to the Falkland Islands and not found anywhere else as stated on the Souvenir Sheet.  |

Here is a Black-tailed Godwit (Limosa Limosa) that flew in from Haabneeme, Estonia. It would be interesting to see if any others fly in from this village as the population is less than 5,000 people.  |
