The Western Capercaillie, Slovakia FDC

An FDC from Slovakia, from 2021. The Europa theme for 2021 was endangered natural wildlife and on this Slovakian stamp is a western capercaillie. It is a large grouse that can be found in parts of Europe. Including Slovakia. I imagine at one time they were heavily hunted but not anymore.

Next to that is a recent stamp commemorating the 75th Anniversary of the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO). The low value definitives are the Rotunda sv. Margity in Šivetice and St. John the Baptist church in Sedmerovec.
