MEETUP PLACE: 6F, No. 1, Ningbo East Street, Zhongzheng Dist., Taipei City (臺北市中正區寧波東街1號6樓 山櫻花小樹屋)
DATE: Saturday, Feb 12th 2022
TIME: 13:00~17:00
MEETUP PLAN:
- Signing postcards and chat
- Postcard flea market: bring your unwanted postcards/ stationery to trade with others. One man’s trash is another man’s treasure!
- Uglies postcard contest: bring the uglies/ worthless postcard you’ve received. (Not to judge the cards we received, but sometimes we did receive some pieces of thin paper or package, that claimed to be postcards…) Bring the cards and to share your bad swapping experience with others! The owner of the uglies card will be rewarded.
For the upcoming new stamps featuring raptors, we prepare a gray-faced buzzard postcard to match the $8 stamp.
＊ABOUT GRAY-FACED BUZZARD
The grey-faced buzzard is an Asian bird of prey that breeds in the Korean Peninsula and migrates to Southeast Asia to escape the harsh winter. Taiwan lies on a major migration route, and large numbers of the birds can be seen moving southward from October, stopping on the Hengchun Peninsula, Taiwan.
In October 2021, a record high of over 110,000 gray-faced buzzards have been seen in Taiwan during their annual migration to the south, the Kenting National Park Administration reported
