No I haven't confused the letters, it's just that my Cambodian stamps show birds. And before you comment that that their Latin names begin with 'C' - I know that too.
We see the hawfinch in our garden every few years and I must say it is more colourful than on this stamp.
A much more regular visitor is the greenfinch despite reduced numbers in the last couple of years due to a throat infection that hampers their ability to eat.

So that's 'C', 'G' and 'H' to celebrate 'B' for Birds.

Yeah, too many Cs indeed, but a Bird is a Bird :)))
I've gone birding this week too. I always like the lettering on Cambodian stamps.
Love bird stamps!
and these ones are showing some impressive beaks for their small stature.
Hi Bob - they are lovely stamps ... highlighting each of the birds ... and seeing a hawfinch in the garden must be special - cheers Hilary
A pity the stamp birds aren't as colorful as the real thing.
Birds are always a good choice, and also for B!
