Birds of the Rock - Definitive 2008

Gibraltar, 15.02.2008
Designer: Stephen Perera
Printer: LM-Group, Canada
Process: offset lithography
Size: 40.00 mm x 26.00 mm
Gibraltar has long been known as a key location for observing birds so we thought what better subject for the 2008 Definitive. The ‘Birds of the Rock’ Definitive focuses on some of the beautiful birds that grace Gibraltar’s skies.
The 2008 Definitive replaces the 2004 ‘Flowers of Gibraltar’ Definitive. The issue is comprised of sheets of 50 with gutters (see images on this page) containing more extensive information on each bird and how it relates to Gibraltar. ‘Traffic lights’ used by printers to create accurate colours are included by request of collectors.
Special thanks to GONHS (Gibraltar Ornithological and Natural History Society): Dr. John Cortes MBE, Charlie Perez, Keith Bensusan and Ernest Garcia for their invaluable help with the issue.
Illustrations: Jonathan Pointer
