Travel the World of Postage Stamps - Song Birds - Amur Paradise Flycatcher (Terpsiphone incei) - Soviet Union 1981 - Michel's USSR 5104 - my hobby.

Greetings friends!

Singing in the blackthorn, this could be called a series of stamps Song Birds, issued in 1981 in the USSR.

Indeed, in the thickets of thorn bushes, it is very common to find songbirds, which feel safe under the cover of the thorny branches of the thorns.

This series of postage stamps tells us about songbirds which could be found on the territory of the former USSR.

The bird, on a postage stamp with a denomination of 10 kopecks of the USSR, puzzled me, having lived half my life in the USSR, I have never seen Amur Paradise Flycatcher (Terpsiphone incei).

This is a beautiful bird, the appearance of which is no less beautiful than its singing.

As it turned out, this bird is found on the territory of Turkistan, which was an integral part of the USSR, the puzzle was formed, lol.

This postage stamp has received 6,900,000 copies in galleries.

Let's take a look at this postage stamp.
