Birds Of Prey

I love birds of prey and as a new collector would like to be on the lookout for any birds of prey stamps.

GB stamps have a collection but was wondering if anyone can recommend any countries that have birds of prey stamps or sets I could look out for.

I am aware a quick Google search brings up many stamps. however, getting the knowledge from people on here and possibly networking with someone with a similar interest is why I have posted this topic.

Thank you for any help in advance

Good morning (or is it afternoon where you're at?)and welcome to the forums, Harrowell7. Almost every country has released stamps with birds of prey as the subject. I would suggest checking the "Topical Stamps" heading at ebay or whichever stamp sales website you visit. I have stamps in my collection from Austria, China, GB, Ireland, Iceland, Poland and Russia picturing raptors. Back in 2012 the US issued a set of 5 85¢ (3 ounce rate at the time) stamps picturing the heads of the Goshawk, Peregrine Falcon, Golden Eagle, Osprey and Harrier.

Thank you, I will look into these.
