Celebrating 65 years of TAAF: sheet with 5 stamps. Each represents a part of the territory

White-tailed Tropicbird (Phaethon lepturus),
Wandering Albatross (Diomedea exulans), on 2 stamps,
Rockhopper Penguin (Eudyptes chrysocome) and
Emperor Penguin (Aptenodytes forsteri).

Polish Birds: 4 stamps, featuring
White Stork (Ciconia ciconia),
Black Stork (Ciconia nigra),
Great Egret (Ardea alba) and
Grey Heron (Ardea cinerea).
The Great Egret is listed as "Rare/Accidental", so perhaps the range expansion which is happening in Great Britain is also reflected in Poland. Consequently, this is a first
on Polish stamps.

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...
