Introduction
Israel Post has issued postage or franking labels for a substantial number of years: since 1988, when it first issued FRAMA labels. Since then, Israel Post has issued a number of different designs each year, with the number of issues increasing roughly from around seven a year in 2009 to around 10 a year more recently.
So far this year, Israel Post has issued four labels which feature birds. This is not the first time that the postal authority has included birds amongst its designs for its postage labels. Previous issues were in 2009, 2010 and 2015. I have listed at the end of this piece the birds illustrated in these older issues.
