South Korea - Eagles

Posted from Seoul in Korea a  couple of definitive stamps, a 2000 Black-crowned Night heron and the 2002 Chinese Grosbeck to make up the rate with the two eagle stamps which are from the 2009 Philakorea commemorative sheet for the exhibition.

Singapore - Chinese Egret ( Egretta eulophotes)

Arrived in the mail today from a postcrossing member in Singapore - a postcard showing Flamingoes which are one of 8000 birds found at the famous Jurong Bird Park..it come highly recommended for a visit if ever you are in Singapore. The sender used a full strip of the 1993 WWF Chinese egrets which are also known as Swinhoes egret.  These elegant birds of east Asia are becoming rarer to see as they are now on the endangered list.
