Ostrich again

Common Ostrich (駝鳥)
South Africa (2008)

18th November, 2009. Cape Town
27th November, 2009. Hongkong


Just a short note this time, I receive this simple letter on few weeks ago from one philatelist (perhaps dealer) who lives in South Africa. Actually I found him actively as South Africa Philatelic Bureau made a big mistake of philatelic item, and this mail just a reply.

Ostrich has been shown in last Morocco thread, the maxicard seems match the orange backgrounded stamp excellently. Of course, ostrich is commonly to be found in tropical desert of Africa. From the north-westernmost country Morocco to southernmost South Africa. So it is not surprise more ostrich stamps to be shown in future.
