Travel the World of Postage Stamps - Falcons - Merlin (Falco columbarius) - Poland 1975 - Michel's Poland 2360 - my hobby.
Greetings friends!
Did you know that the fairytale wizard Merlin got his name from the existence of the Merlin falcon (Falco columbarius)?
We can see this falcon on a postage stamp from the Falcons series, issued in 1975 in Poland.
Like a wizard, this postage stamp works wonders.
It has a circulation of four million less than the previous postage stamp and only amounts to 1,095,000 copies.
Its market price has risen to ten us dollars for a clean, unused postage stamp with no postmark stamp.
A canceled postage stamp should cost less and, as a rule, it is two to three times less. But, this is already a postage stamp, which can be called valuable. Although, no matter how much a postage stamp costs today, any postage stamp can add a lot in value over time.
The postage stamp depicts a male of this species of falcons and, having seen this bird in nature, you can tell your son or daughter that it is a male or a female, tell about the difference in the plumage of birds of the same species, children will be pleasantly surprised by the knowledge of their parent, if, previously, they didn’t know that you have a deep knowledge of ornithology, lol.

For my publications, I do not use stock photographs, it is fundamentally important for me to use photographs that I have made with my own hands for publication and I can name them - authorial work.
