IN 1959 Ghana issued a set of defintive stamps with four different birds, one of them being the Black-winged Red Bishop (Euplectes hordeaceus) which was also used on postal stationary such as this aerogram for the international postage rate of 6d at that time. The aerogram was sent from Tsito in Ghana to Sweden in 1960. I am unable to find Tsito on Google maps, so I chose the closest place Volta.
Here you will see birds on stamps with clear postmarks to show where the birds have flown from. These places have been plotted on the Google map of Traveling Birds. http://goo.gl/JcbeKc . Click on any bird name beside the map to see the stamps. I hope you enjoy traveling with the birds.
