Selos de Portugal prova cor EUROPA 2019 Serinus Canária Madeira Canário épreuve couleur color proof 1165

In the highlands of the eastern interior of the island of Madeira, several areas of more open landscape emerge, which are the preferred habitat of two species of fringilids: the goldfinch (Carduelis carduelis), which has large migratory populations in a European context; and the land canary (Serinus canaria), a species endemic to Macaronesia (archipelagos of the Azores, Madeira, Canaries and Cape Verde).

This philatelic issue consists of three stamps, each with a face value of € 0.86 and a circulation of 120,000 copies each; and three philatelic blocks with a circulation of 38,000 copies each, with two stamps of € 0.86 each.

The illustrations of the stamps were made by Nuno Farinha.
