I do not collect or list stamps from these Stamperija countries (since late 2016):
Centralafrica, Chad, Djibouti, Guinea, Guinea-Bissau, Maldives, Mozambique, Niger, Sao Tome, Sierra Leone, Solomon Islands, Togo.
Stamperija has legal contracts with these countries, but the number of stamps produced are too large. This is my personal opinion, and other stamp collectors and lovers should follow their own opinion.

20.12.16

Listing and publishing new stamps from Stamperija countries has come to an end on this website.

They are listed in their respective families. The species has to be known from physical evidence. Species known solely from literary sources are excluded. These species on the Mozambique stamps are not in the IOC list, but they are known from literary sources, and they are presented on BirdLife International factsheets:
Reunion Gallinule Porphyrio coerulescens

25.08.11
