Europa: single featuring
Ring-necked Pheasant (Phasianus colchicus).
Update
Georgia Post has published in Georgian a
page featuring this stamp.
The
Google translation of this page makes no mention of a second stamp, but perhaps this page was put together hastily to get the stamp
included in the PostEurop competition. The date on the page (May 16) might refer to the intended issue date, but I have not seen any sales of this stamp.
Update
I have been sent
this image of the full issue which is apparently now available for purchase, but it has not appeared on Georgia Post's website.
The second stamp in the issue features
Eurasian Sparrowhawk (Accipiter nisus). The same image was used on a
2002 stamp issued with the name "Guinea".
A detailed view of the
source picture by Gould
reveals that the prey is
House Sparrow (Passer domesticus), and a second Sparrow is flying away just below the tail of the
perched Sparrowhawk.

"Malawi Wildlife":
a mini-sheet of 6 stamps. The Buffalo seems to have at least one Oxpecker on its nose. A better view might reveal whether it is
Red-billed Oxpecker (Buphagus erythrorhynchus) or
Yellow-billed Oxpecker (Buphagus africanus). Both are possible, but the latter is more likely.
Commonwealth Stamps Opinion reported the date of issue as 24 April 2019,
but
this cover may be showing the intended date,
although the stamps all have "2018". Confusingly, I had received an email from Malawi Post early in April informing me that there would be a new issue of " 'endangered animals' on 27 April 2019".
The source image confirms that the birds are indeed
Yellow-billed Oxpecker (Buphagus africanus).

The last does not occur in Cambodia. Each stamp has the text "Keep our nature, it's our identity". Another water bird instead of the Hornbill would have been more appropriate.

More details of January issues reveal that the stamp will feature

Update:
This picture confirms it. |

Tourism, 6 stamps.
One has a
Bananaquit (Coereba flaveola) feeding from a plate with sugar on a window sill. I occasionally check out
a webcam on Bonaire where sugar is placed in a dish which attracts many Troupials, and when they leave, hordes of Bananaquits descend to take what's remaining.
If you happen to watch in Bonaire's night time, you may see bats feeding.

Owls: 4 stamps with unnamed owls which could be
Tawny Owl (Strix aluco),
Boreal Owl (Aegolius funereus),
Eurasian Eagle-Owl (Bubo bubo) and
Barn Owl (Tyto alba). I fail to see why there would be two owls on one stamp showing such a
difference in size. Perhaps the designer decided to show a size comparison between the Tawny Owl and a
Little Owl (Athene noctua)!
