Heinz Sielmann (1917 – 2006) was a German wildlife photographer, biologist, zoologist and documentary filmmaker. The stamp honouring him was issued in 2017.
As a curiosity, I got it in two different fromats/sizes, as it happens (or happened) with German stamps.

The following stamp features Maya Angelou (1928-2014), a well-known American writer and civil rights activist. The stamp was issued in 2015 and much celebrated, even if... the quote on the stamp was not hers.

This is a post for Sunday Stamps. Today's topic is Birds.
Love the old man and the bird. Bit slapdash of the US Post not to actually use a line from her poetry, there is lots to choose from.
ReplyDeleteI love that stamp too. It came as a surprise on the envelope of a philatelic order.
DeleteLove your selection.
