Latvia
|
The programme for 2021 includes "Latvian birds", two stamps, but with no further details.
Update Latvia's bird of the year for 2021 has been chosen, so it is likely that one of the birds in this issue will be Grey Partridge (Perdix perdix). Update The programme has been updated to include the species names: "Laukirbe, Sarkankrutitis". The first confirms Grey Partridge and the second is Eurasian Bullfinch (Pyrrhula pyrrhula). No images yet. |

| Belarus
|
The programme for 2021 includes "Falcons of Belarus", 6 stamps, but with no further details.
There are 6 Falcons listed on
Avibase for Belarus, but 2 are Rare/Vagrants, so perhaps there will be 2 each of three species.
Update This issue is illustrated on the future issues page and confirms that it portrays the male and female of each of 3 species, namely: Merlin (Falco columbarius), Eurasian Kestrel (Falco tinnunculus) and Red-footed Falcon (Falco vespertinus). |

The
Provisional Programme for 2021 includes "Birds": 12 stamps but with no further details
Update: Details of this set have been published and the 12 species are listed as Saffron Toucanet (Baillonius bailloni), Crimson-crested Woodpecker (Campephilus melanoleucos), Swallow-wing (Chelidoptera tenebrosa), Helmeted Woodpecker (Celeus galeatus), White Woodpecker (Melanerpes candidus) and Yellow-fronted Woodpecker (Melanerpes flavifrons) and White-wedged Piculet (Picumnus albosquamatus) and White-barred Piculet (Picumnus cirratus ) and Chestnut-eared Aracari (Pteroglossus castanotis), Red-breasted Toucan (Ramphastos dicolorus), Toco Toucan (Ramphastos toco) and Spot-billed Toucanet (Selenidera maculirostris). A disappointing issue: although there are a few new species, only one (Melanerpes candidus) is native to Surinam, and two species that are listed are described as rare or accidental. There is a Piculet which is apparently endemic Arrowhead Piculet (Picumnus minutissimus) which would have been a far more appropriate choice. |

Europa: 2 stamps featuring
American Kestrel (Falco sparverius) and
Winter Wren (Troglodytes troglodytes). I know the first stamp is labelled "Falco tinnunculus",
but the head markings are much too like its American cousin.
Update I found the source image that has been used by the designer. It is described as "Stipple illustration of a female Kestrel Falcon perching on a trainers glove. It compares quite well with the bird on this photograph taken in British Colombia, Canada. However, whichever species one chooses, it is difficult to discount the apparently forked tail. |
