Germany: European Turtle Dove

Last Wednesday I got two postcards: one from Germany and one from Austria.

The card from Germany shows an European Turtle Dove. The European Turtle Dove is a migratory bird from the bird family Columbidae. Populations of the bird are in rapid decline across Europa and it has red list conservation status globally. In Germany it is the Bird of the Year for 2020.

I bought this card in my home town.

Stamp:
