很多人都可能對羅馬尼亞郵票感覺冷感,自共產年代一直不斷發行各類型不同郵票,且有海量蓋銷票流向集郵市場,無知的集郵者便穿鑿附會些奇妙的理論把包括羅馬尼亞在內的東歐郵票說成不值得收藏的商業郵票。在天下烏鴉一樣黑的情況下,羅馬尼亞郵票也不是那麼庸俗,至少他們每年一度的《多瑙河三角洲》系列比英美法大國郵票更值得擁有。
Annual scriptures|Protected wildlife in Romanian reservesIn each year, Romfilatelia recalls the richness of the natural heritage of Romania by introducing into circulation a postage stamp issue dedicated to the species of pelicans living in their country, Delta Dunării in Romanian is the only delta in the world entirely declared a biosphere reserve and a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1991, it shelters an impressive number of pelicans from both species, these birds being declared a natural monument, the stamp series in 2015 shown two pelican species: the Great White Pelican, one of national birds of Romania and the Dalmatian Pelican.
Great White Pelican is not an endangered species in this moment, it mostly is migratory bird but some pelicans are resident living in western India and individual sub-Sahara area whole year. The pelicans widely to be found in savannas of sub-Sahara area, also north-west and east parts of India during non-breeding seasons. In each early-summers, the pelicans migrate to north breeding in eastern Europe to central continental of Euroasia, Danube Delta is one of important area to them for breeding, in each breeding seasons up to half of population of whole pelicans to be found here.
Another pelican shown in this stamp set is Dalmatian Pelican, it seems familiar to Hong Kong stamp collectors as it has apperered on the 2006 bird definitive stamps. Not same as Great White Pelican, the conservation status of Dalmatian Pelican now is near threatened, it is because the species’ numbers dramatically declined during the 20th century. Most reasons are living area be encroached and disappered, disturbance and poaching activities. Although most of its population survives in Russia, some of them can be found in Mongolia range. However Dalmatian Pelican also can be divided to resident and migratory bird separately, they breeding in central continental of Euroasia and migrate to northern part of Persian Gulf and Gulf of Oman, and also Nile Delta in non-breeding seasons. Danube Delta not only the important area for passage pelicans and it is rear settlement of resident pelicans, there is a record estimated about 550 nesting pairs.
The margin of the souvenir sheet issued meanwhile emphasizes the 25-year anniversary since the foundation of the reserve and its belonging to the UNESCO World Heritage Site.

瓦努阿圖和斐濟郵柬
這個星期終於收回寄自瓦努阿圖和斐濟的掛號郵柬,雖然這兩個地方我曾在這裡介紹過了,不過就是沒有展示郵柬。先簡略介紹瓦努瓦圖的郵柬,第一個郵資圖案是太平洋岩鷺,圖案和2007年同題郵票相同,不過卻未有查到確實的發行日期,我想應該是郵票不久之後發行,而郵柬四週繪有馬仙納氏吸蜜鸚鵡和和栗腹翡翠。 | |||||||||

在2011年時郵局在發行世界自然基金會郵票時我是一併購買的。我把多出的一套郵票加貼在郵柬上並要求郵局以掛號寄出,有點意外的是郵局竟把整個掛號標籤貼在郵柬上,結果幾頭鸚鵡就被「殺死」了。
其實,我發這篇文章的目的原本是介紹一下斐濟的,但是我依稀記得曾經寫遏了,最終我找到這數年前的《帶世界自然基金會商標的鸚鵡郵票(大洋洲地區)》文章,看來我應該更新一下。斐濟自1970年從英國獨立之後郵票發行和一般的英聯邦郵票沒有分別都是一年5套每套4至6枚郵票這麼樣,並不吸引,在市面根本無人留意他們的郵票,
我多次從集郵處得到不少這些加蓋票的四方連,可惜並非能夠購得全部不同的加蓋票,唯獨我仍未購置一套原版的《斐濟鳥類》新票或以此製作實寄封,下次我應該會補做一個的。
說回郵柬,其實我很早期接觸斐濟集郵處時已經購得,不過在未考慮怎樣使用時卻因香港的濕熱天氣加上郵柬本身有一定年紀紙張已有不少黃斑,使我決心將網路購得的散票貼在郵柬上使用,為免遭到質疑,我特意如同昔日郵寄掛號郵件在掛號標籤上騎縫蓋戳,此情況多出現英語系國家,舊日香港亦有此習慣延至今日部分實寄封收集者仍刻意在標籤上騎蓬蓋戳。 | ||||||||
