I have received the programme for 2020 which includes "Special series: the 100th anniversary of Bird protection society", but with no further details. We may hear early news about this issue from Birdlife International's partner in Luxembourg. | 10 March 2020 | PhilatéLux | |

Birds: 4 stamps featuring Chaffinch (Fringilla coelebs), Barn Swallow (Hirundo rustica), Eurasian Skylark (Alauda arvensis) and White Wagtail (Motacilla alba). Unfortunately, all 4 species have appeared on earlier Finnish stamps, though these are an improvement. I notice none of the species is named on the stamps, so perhaps this image is an early version of the issue. | 12 March 2020 | Image sent by correspondent | |

This issue has obviously been delayed. Several issues are listed for June to August but none seems to be available yet. I would be surprised if this issue is
released during 2019!
Update Email from Post PNG's Philatelic Department: the stamps should be out in November. Update Despite earlier optimism, a correspondent informs me that he has an email from Post PNG's Philatelic Department: the issue has been postponed until next year. |
