On Saturday I got four postcards: three from Belgium and one from China.
Two of the cards from Belgium are about this year's EUROPA stamps. Both cards were signed by Kris Maes, the designer of the stamps.
The first card shows an Eurasian Jay. The Eurasian Jay is a bird species living in wide parts of Eurasia, where it inhabits mixed woodland. Before humans began planting the trees commercially on a wide scale, Eurasian Jays were the main source of movement and propagation for the English Oak, as one bird has the ability to spread more than a thousand acorns every year.
With a matching stamp:
EUROPA (from set of two) (issued 16-06-2019)
The stamp can be scanned to listen to the bird.

The other shows an Eurasian Golden Oriol. The Eurasian Golden Oriole is a passerine bird breeding in Northern Hemisphere temperate regions. It is a summer migrant in Europa and Western Asia and spends the winter season in Africa.

Thank You very much Gerda!
