Åland Islands: White-tailed Eagle

Last Thursday I got four postcards: one from the Åland Islands, two from Germany and one from France.

The card from the Åland Islands shows a White-tailed Eagle. The White-tailed Eagle is widely distributed across Eurasia, but due to human activities it is endangered or even extinct in several countries. Luckily some populations recovered due to governmental protections and dedicated conservationists and naturalists.

The card is a maxicard. The stamp is this year's EUROPA stamp of the Åland Islands (issued 09-05-2019).


The card is prepaid and was added with two stamps:
EUROPA (issued 09-05-2019)
Birds (from set of three) (issued 03-01-2000)
with a special postmark about the Postcrossing Meet-up in Mariehamn


Thank You very much Anita!
