Finches of Australia II - new stamps from Australia Post

The stamps

$1 Gouldian Finch (Erythrura gouldiae)

The Gouldian Finch is often regarded the most beautiful of Australia’s finches. Ornithologist and publisher John Gould named it in memory of his wife, Elizabeth, a natural-history artist who contributed greatly to Gould’s multi-volume publication on Australian birds.

$1 Beautiful Firetail (Stagonopleura bella)

The Beautiful Firetail is just that, with its stunning finely-barred plumage offset by a bright scarlet tail and scarlet beak. This species is restricted to the southern-most coastal areas of Australia, occurring through southern New South Wales and Victoria into south-east South Australia and throughout Tasmania; it is the only grass-finch to occur in the island state.

$2 Black-throated Finch (Poephila cincta)

First described by John Gould in 1837, the expressive Black-throated Finch commonly occurs in flocks of up to around 30 birds. Its two subspecies (cincta and atropygialis) occur down Australia’s eastern seaboard, from the tip of Cape York to south of the Atherton Tablelands.
