Spur-winged Goose

Spur-winged Goose (距翅雁)

Guinea-Bissau (2001)

24th December, 2008. Bissau

Guinea-Bissau again, it is second mail from there after a week of first mail. Of course, this mail same as last one which comes from the request of 2007. Stamp is come from a beautiful sheetlet issued on 2001, I have this sheetlet however don't want to use it as it is hard to find. Posted envelopes from Guinea-Bissau are rare in market so dealers mark them in high selling price, I bid one before and it costed me 10 euro.

Spur-winged Goose has been suggested be a national bird of Gambia, actually it lives in southern of Sahara of whole Africa mainland and southern of Arab Peninsular.
