This splendid little set, issued 18/12/09, seems to have original art-work which makes a refreshing change from so many of the recent bird stamps that have used photographs gleaned from the Internet in many cases without the consent of the photographer. Although the Orphean Warbler is not listed for Qatar, I have found a photograph on BirdGuides of one taken at the Sealine Beach Resort, Qatar, in April 2008.
