Birds of Finland
Blue tit, wagtail and golden oriole, the provincial birds of Satakunta, Pirkanmaa and South Savonia are depicted on 1st class non-denominated stamps, issued by Finland Post on 6 September 2001. The stamps are so called roll stamps. Each roll contains all three stamps. A roll contains hundred stamps.Pekka Piippo designed the stamps
Mr. Pekka Piippo designed the new bird stamps. The illustrations are collages, put together by combining several pictures. The birds were photographed at the Museum of Natural History and are specimens from the museum's collections. The photos were taken by Pekka Piippo and photographer Antti Huittinen.Blue tit
The blue tit (parus caeruleus) is easy to distinguish from the great tit by its smaller size and the blue cap on its head. The black belly stripe of the great tit is also missing. The blue tit prefers deciduous trees; forests, groves, parks and yards.Wagtail
The small white, black and grey wagtail (motacilla alba) is one of our most conspicuous birds. It is common breeder allmost all over Finland. The wagtail thrives in sunny, open places near water.Golden oriole
The exotic-looking golden oriole (oriolus oriolus) is easy to distinguish by its slow, undulating flight and the bright coloring of the male. The male is bright yellow, has black wings and a red beak. It is very difficult to see, however, the shy bird usually hides in the upper tree canopy. It is a rare breeder in Finland.More information Postage Stamps
