A conservation success, in 1980 the Black Robin had the smallest population of any bird species due to non-native predators. Today there is a stable population of about 300 on two New Zealand islands.

No such problems with the Great Crested Grebe, estimated to have a global population of over a million.

| 1970: Birds |
Common Black Hawk, also known as the Crab Hawk for its food choices are - crabs, crayfish and amphibians. It hunts low along streams and sometimes wading in the water.
St Vincent have Queen Elizabeth on their bank notes and stamps so like us will be seeing many changes.

| 1987: 40th Anniv of Wedding of Queen Elizabeth and 150th Anniv of Queen Victoria's Accession |
The Queen and the christening of Prince Charles, we will have to get used to calling him King Charles. Weird to hear the national anthem as God Save the King at her Remembrance service in St Paul's Cathedral this week She had a unique relationship to St Vincent as in all her duties relating to the islands she spoke an acted as their constitutional monarch - Queen of St Vincent and the Grenadines and not as Queen of the UK.
Sunday Stamps theme this week is - Black - See It On A Postcard

I do enjoy seeing the great crested grebe's mating dance - wish I could see it in real life!
A black robin just doesn't sound right, does it?
We are learning that our coins may not change, or it will be years from now. There are still have some King George coins in circulation.
The black hawk doesn't seem so black on that stamp!
Thanks for sharing. A black robin does seem a little strange. A sad weekend for sure.
