The Paintings of Mike Peake: 6 stamps featuring
Black-necked Swan (Cygnus melanocorypha),
Black-crowned Night-Heron (Nycticorax nycticorax),
Upland Goose (Chloephaga picta) on 2 stamps,
Kelp Gull (Larus dominicanus),
Red-backed Hawk (Buteo polyosoma).
These stamps may eventually be obtained directly from the Falkland Islands Philatelic Bureau.
Update
Unfortunately, the gull is not Belcher's, which should have yellow legs and a red and black tipped yellow bill. It looks much more like a Kelp Gull.
Although Belcher's Gull is listed as a vagrant on the Falklands, perhaps the artist did not see the species, and the wrong name has been associated with the
design.

The series Experience Nature continues with Birds of Woods and Moorlands. I have downloaded this
thumbnail image, from which most of the species may be identified. I think they are:
Unidentified, probable
Coal Tit (Periparus ater),
Brambling (Fringilla montifringilla),
Great Spotted Woodpecker (Dendrocopos major),
Common Redstart (Phoenicurus phoenicurus),
Spotted Flycatcher (Muscicapa striata), probable
Northern Shrike (Lanius excubitor),
Black Grouse (Tetrao tetrix),
Eurasian Wryneck (Jynx torquilla) and
Unidentified.
Update
I found a much
clearer image of this sheet in the
Summer issue of "Collect"
which helps to identify the two birds that I left Unidentified. They are
Common Raven (Corvus corax) and
Willow Tit (Poecile montanus).

Update 18 August 2020
Apparently, Belize Audubon Society had the pleasure of working with the Belize Postal Service in the creation of the new set of 14 stamps, and on July 30,
the Society published
images of the set on its
Facebook. "All photos were provided by BAS member Francis Canto Jr, who took these great shots around the country. These stamps will be in circulation for the next few years."
When will we be able to get our tweezers on them? Come on
Harry Allen!
I suppose the current pandemic will delay availablity depending on where the stamps were produced...
