The second in the series "Resident Birds of Alderney" shows a good selection of passerines following last year's seabirds. The Dartford Warbler appeared on an earlier Alderney stamp issued in 1992, but the other species make their first appearance on the island's stamps. The previous series, "Migrating Birds", ran for four years, so hopefully we will have two more sets to follow.
