Birds: 4 stamps featuring

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.
