Collared Kingfisher (Todirhamphus chloris),
White-faced Heron (Egretta novaehollandiae),
Polynesian Starling (Aplonis tabuensis),

Polynesian Triller (Lalage maculosa),
Barn Owl (Tyto alba),
Buff-banded Rail (Gallirallus philippensis),
Purple Swamphen (Porphyrio porphyrio) and
Swamp Harrier (Circus approximans). Disappointingly, there are 3 incorrect scientific names, and, strangely, "Swamp Harrier" does not have a scientific name. The gravest error has presumably been caused by the designer searching for an image of the very special Niuafo'ou Scrubfowl (Megapodius pritchardii) but choosing a fine image of the completely un-related Grey-necked Wood-Rail (Aramides cajanea)! One of the photographs has a credit, as it was taken in New Zealand by Glen Fergus. The Triller was taken in Samoa, the Starling and Honeyeater in Fiji, the Harrier and Duck in Australia and the Kingfisher in Thailand. Were any of the birds photographed in Tonga?

Owls has 4 stamps featuring

African Grass-Owl (Tyto capensis), with possible
Tawny Owl (Strix aluco yamadae) in flight,
Pel's Fishing-Owl (Scotopelia peli) with
Tawny Owl (Strix aluco) and probable
Ural Owl (Strix uralensis) despite the name on the stamp.
The souvenir sheet has
Pel's Fishing-Owl (Scotopelia peli) and
Tawny Owl (Strix aluco). The Tawny Owl is taken from this photograph, which is adjacent to one showing Strix butleri hence the incorrect name on the stamp. I found this image on
this page. The African Grass-Owl is
taken from this page.

Pied Kingfisher (Ceryle rudis),

Peafowl has 4 stamps all with
Congo Peacock (Afropavo congensis). The
souvenir sheet also has the same species.
Owls has
Madagascar Long-eared Owl (Asio madagascariensis), but the left bird on this stamp is probably
Short-eared Owl (Asio flammeus),
Marsh Owl (Asio capensis),
Spotted Eagle-Owl (Bubo africanus) and
Short-eared Owl (Asio flammeus). The
souvenir sheet has
Marsh Owl (Asio capensis). While searching for images to confirm the identity of some of the owls, I discovered that the left bird on the Short-eared Owl stamp is taken from this photograph and is the Hawaiian sub-species, sandwichensis. Searching for images of Madagascar Long-eared Owl produced both birds on the first stamp, but the left bird appeared on a page listing several owls, and was obviously not the intended species.

Birds - sheet of 10 identical stamps featuring
Great Tit (Parus major). This is the first of a monthly issue which is scheduled to last for 3 years. This information was taken from the Dutch Magazine 'Filatelie'. In total 72 stamps will be issued (so perhaps 2 per month). The first sheet was sold at post offices, together with a leaflet with details of how to subscribe to all the other sheets. They will not be sold at post offices, but only at the collectors club in a limited amount of 5000 sheets. All pictures come from the late, famous Dutch artist, M.A. Koekkoek whose surname means "Cuckoo".
This page suggests that a future issue will feature
Black-tailed Godwit (Limosa limosa).

Birds of Africa: 2 sheets of 4 stamps each and 2 souvenir sheets. The sale states these are "official" issues, but I have e-mailed Tanzania Post for confirmation and any further details. The following species feature:
Pied Crow (Corvus albus),
Ground Woodpecker (Geocolaptes olivaceus),
Greater Honeyguide (Indicator indicator),
Yellow-rumped Tinkerbird (Pogoniulus bilineatus),
Senegal Parrot (Poicephalus senegalus),
Grey Parrot (Psittacus erithacus),
Lilac-breasted Roller (Coracias caudata),
Southern Masked-Weaver (Ploceus velatus),
White-headed Mousebird (Colius leucocephalus) and
Black-collared Barbet (Lybius torquatus). The "tinkerbird" stamp unfortunately has the wrong label - how did that slip through the quality control?! The birds seem to have been extracted from photographs and are perched on thin air.
