Birds on Stamps

The theme for this week in Sunday Stamps is Birds. Though Viridian wrote this is "a perennial theme", I have published birds on stamps just once (thanks to Sunday Stamps again!).

Let's show some more beautiful received birds.

From Belgium

From Finland

Update: After reading the comments I must add that... you are right, it is not easy to see the birds on this stamp! Maybe because the main topic is love. This stamp belongs to a series called Drops of Happiness issued on 22nd January 2009 to celebrate friendship on St. Valentine's Day. I have received three of five. You can see the set here.

 I like a lot this stamp from Monaco, maybe because the birds are flying.

Two Postcards Can Make Your Day

It is amazing how, thanks to this theme in Sunday Stamps I have received not only these  set of stamps, but now two more favourite postcards! 

They were sent by Sheila (Don't you know her blog A Postcard a Day?) from Monaco. Besides the theme, and the beautiful matched stamps, it was the first time I received mail from that country.
