2025Young Peregrine Falcons - Migration Now and Then - Miniature Sheet

As part of our joint issue with the Royal Gibraltar Post Office, we are dedicating a special souvenir sheet with two stamps to the peregrine falcon. The “Peregrine Falcon juvenile” stamp (face value CHF 1.90) shows the young peregrine falcon before its departure to the south. The “Peregrine Falcon adult” motif (face value CHF 1.90) shows two peregrine falcons flying over the Liechtenstein Alps after their return. Depending on the population, peregrine falcons can be resident birds or long-distance migrants. In central Europe, which includes Liechtenstein, young peregrines traditionally migrate to western and south-western Europe during their first year of life. The Strait of Gibraltar is an important passage for migratory birds of prey on their way to Africa.
