Greetings friends!
Today we are completing the complete set of the Song Birds series of postage stamps issued in the USSR in 1981.
The postage stamp that concludes this series features a songbird White-throated Bushchat (Saxicola insignis).
I am offended that in this series of postage stamps, lol, there are so few birds that I saw in nature, probably, I was not attentive enough and looked around a little, and when I came to the Beehive, I began to write more than look around.
No, every day I look at the sky and at the branches of trees, hoping to see interesting birds, but apparently, since this series of postage stamps was printed, much in nature has changed and some species of birds have been replaced by other species.
I don't know yet where we will go tomorrow, the computer in which the photographs of my postage stamps were stored stopped showing signs of life and tomorrow, I have a big photo session, I will need to wipe the dust off the stock books and repeat what I spent a lot of time on.
It's funny, but walking down the street with a camera is much easier than taking pictures of many small postage stamps.
But, this is the right thing to do despite the back pain lol.
This postage stamp has received 4,700,000 copies in galleries, its denomination is 32 kopecks of the USSR, at that time, it was a lot of money for which you could buy two loaves of bread and get a small change for which you could drink a half-liter glass of kvass a glass of soda without syrup.
