The above Royal Mail Birds of Prey stamps were issued on 14 January 2003 by Royal Mail and feature the following stamp designs: 5 x 1st Barn Owl; 5 x 1st Kestrel. Denomination : 1st class Description : The Kestrel is the UK's most widespread bird of prey, and is easily recognisable as it hovers in open country or over one of the many 'natural' reserves alongside Britain's busy motorways. Although they often hover at some height from the ground they can also be seen perched on telegraph poles or even the tops of bushes no more than 3 metres from the ground, and it is not unknown for a kestrel to be 'flushed' from the ground by a passing pedestrian or cyclist. |
