Owls from Czech Republic


This is a postcard that celebrates a popular bird of prey. The upper part of the stamp shows the flying snowy owl. This large tundra predator represents owls in the far north. The lower part of the stamp shows the tawny owl sitting in front of a castle ruin. This is the most common Czech owl species. The stamp is part of a commemorative miniature sheet issued in September 2015 by Česká pošta.
