Taiwan-Greater Painted Snipe
2009 stamps featuring a Greater Painted-snipe ( Rostratula benghalensis) which is a wader species found in the marshes of Africa, Inida, Pakistan and SE Asia. The birds are unusual in that they have reversed sexual dimorphism, the female is larger and more brightly colored than the male.
I didn't crop the bird out this time because I consider the cancellations to special to be missed. A once in a lifetime event..never again in my lifetime of yours.
