Description

Hong Kong – Scott #1239 – 2006 Red-Whiskered Bulbul – Used

Issued in 2006 as part of Hong Kong’s long-running definitive bird series, this $3 stamp features a beautifully detailed illustration of the Red-Whiskered Bulbul (Pycnonotus jocosus)—a lively and instantly recognizable songbird commonly seen throughout Hong Kong’s parks, gardens, and wooded hillsides.

The stamp showcases the bird’s distinctive red cheek patches, elegant crest, and subtle shading in realistic natural tones. Printed with fine detail and modern offset techniques, it represents Hong Kong’s continued tradition of blending natural history and philatelic craftsmanship.

This example is postally used, bearing a light, attractive circular cancel that does not detract from the design. A great addition for collectors of:

• Birds on stamps

• Hong Kong definitives

• Asian wildlife

• Topical nature themes
