New bird from Malaysia
1 may 2009
Maybe the Malaysian Post picked up our idea to issue birds “that never have been shown before on stamps”. On 21st of January the series “Unique Birds of Malaysia” has been emitted. Four birds rarely shown on stamps, and one of them, the Malayan Whistling Thrush (Myaphonus robinsoni) never before on a stamp.
There has been a problem with the block of the Plain-pouched Hornbill. The name of the country was forgotten on the stamp, so there will be a new issue of this block.
