Hi Tweeties,

I receive considerable correspondence from the Republic Of Ireland, and the
stamps used by my correspondent are of birds!

Some of these Irish birds look very much like the birds we see here. One
may very well be our GOLD CROWNED KINGLET going by the name "Goldencrest".
Is the "Greenland White Fronted Goose" the same as our WHITE FRONTED GOOSE?
And the pretty little "Colm Collie" - wood pigeon - is it the same as ours?
The illustrations are small, but tantalizing. Only English and Gaelic names
are used on the stamps.

How many species are common on both Europe and North America?
