Birds on Stamps
Introduction for Spanish speakers:
Aquí se ve una selección pequeña de los sellos de pajaros que ofrezco. Se puede comprarlos por internet. Tengo un gran surtido de sellos de pájaros, muchos mas de lo que se puede mostrar aqui, y me encanta hacer selecciones por encargo.
Los viajeros que pasan por el pueblo de Lagartera pueden contactarme a través del Bar Maykel, que está cerca de la plaza principal del pueblo, preguntando por Alison en el bar. También se puede contactarme a través de alisonlever@yahoo.co.uk y citarme en Lagartera para ver todos los sellos de pajaros que ofrezco. Hay ofertas para los clientes que compran muchos sellos.
Lagartera está a unos cinco kilometros de Oropesa,
entre Talavera y Navalmoral de la Mata. Se puede llegar a Lagartera por la
Nacional V (Ctra. de Extremadura). Los precios estan en libras esterlinas,
pero se puede pagar con euros.
And for English speakers:
Here is a selection of some of the birds stamps on offer through filatelicbird.co.uk. It is only a small selection of the many bird stamps available here, so if you want to ask about any bird stamps you are especially looking for, please contact me. You can email me c/o alisonlever@yahoo.co.uk and I will see what I can find for you. I am delighted to make up selections of birds from one country, owls, birds of prey etc, checking with you by email that what I am sending you is what you want to fill in gaps your collection. I offer discounts for large orders.
Travellers in central Spain can also come and look at bird stamps in the village of Lagartera, located in important birdwatching country near Oropesa, some 20 miles south of the Gredos mountains. Just ask for Alison in Bar Maykel, which is off the main square of Lagartera. Lagartera is off the Nacional V route, and is about half way between Talavera and Navalmoral de la Mata, just past Oropesa, if you are travelling from Talavera to Navalmoral.
Most stamps depicted here are used. I specially select
used stamps for light postmarks, which pushes up the price a little, and means
that you can actually see the stamp, not the postmark! Many of the stamps
depicted are also available as mint stamps, and I have mint sets, singletons
and covers of many other bird stamps.
