Pakistan-Migratory Birds

White Stork (Ciconia ciconia), Snow geese(Chen caerulescnes) Northern Shoveler (Anas clypeata) and Siberian Crane (Grus leucogeranus) are some of the many species of birds which breed in the far northern hemisphere during the summer  and fly  to a region which has a warmer winter away from freezing conditions. Nearly one million migratory  birds from Europe, India and Central Asia use the Indus Flyway to arrive in Pakistan where there are many wetlands and protected areas for these magnificent winged creatures. The stamps were issued 27-09-2012

Poland-White Stork

The White Stork (Ciconia ciconia) is a very large bird with a wing-span of more than two meters. The bird is a long-distance migrant from their summer breeding grounds as far north as Finland, the birds will travel as far south as South Africa for a warmer winter. Thanks to my friend Witti who kindly sent me this colorful pre-paid card from Szcezecin, Poland.
