I received a newsletter from SAPO by email but was disappointed that there were no bird stamps mentioned. I replied and suggested
that SAPO could continue its recent series of bird stamps by selecting 5 South African Woodpeckers perhaps in the programme for 2020.
I was very surprised to get a reply from a SAPO official that there would be an issue featuring Woodpeckers in August, 2019! I have requested early news
of this issue.
Update 6 August
The latest information from SAPO: "It might be delayed".
Update 25 September
The latest information from SAPO: "The stamps are not yet in South Africa".
Update 31 January 2020
Commonwealth Stamps Opinion lists SAPO's intended issues for early 2020, which includes Woodpeckers for March.
Update 13 March 2020
The issue has appeared for
sale on Delcampe. The species are
Bearded Woodpecker (Dendropicos namaquus),
Ground Woodpecker (Geocolaptes olivaceus),
Cardinal Woodpecker (Dendropicos fuscescens),
Olive Woodpecker (Dendropicos griseocephalus) and
Knysna Woodpecker (Campethera notata).
