I am back with a cover from Israel with a block of four bird stamps. This stamp was released in 1992 and it is the lowest value of a set of ten. Wallcreeper (Tichodroma muraria) is the only member of the genus Tichodroma. It lives in Europe and Asia in mountains and it has two subspecies. It mostly feeds on insects and spiders.
