From the latest Karlstejn National Park nature sheet from the Czech Republic comes a Common Buzzard - a medium to large sized bird of prey seen all over Europe with their range extending to Asia. THe Buzzard is flying over the High Gothic castle Karlsteyn built by Czech king and Roman Emperor Charles 1V in 1348. Postmarked from Vodochody.
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.

Czech Republic- Karlstejn Nature Reserve
7th in the series ,since 2005, on nature reserves in the Czech Republic, is this colorful and busy sheetlet representing Karlstejn Nature Reserve, containing four actual stamps two of which are bird stamps . The 18Kc stamp has a perched Northern Wheatear (Oenanthe oenanthe) and the 20Kc stamp has a flying Common Buzzard (Buteo buteo) except for this Common Buzzard all other fauna and flora have Latin and Czech names.
Received on a registered cover, this is a delightful addition for Traveling Birds.
