Cover from Nicaragua ...
Thanks Jean-Michel for this bird cover, with house made 2010 Biodiversity cancellation ;-) On the left of cover, it shows "Tienda Palacio" Post Office, which is the Central Post Office in Managua, capital of Nicaragua. The cover was sent on 26 July from Leon and took 15 days to reach Singapore. It seems that the cancellation from Leon is not as good as the cancellation from "Tienda Palacio" Post Office. See the cancellation from "Tienda Palacio" Post Office from my previous post here.

A cover from Nicaragua ...
Thanks Jean-Michel for the beautiful cover :-) The cover was printed with 2 parrots on the left and an owl with the wordings of "2010 ano de la Biodiversidad" (2010 Year of Biodiversity) on the right.
There are 2 postmarks on cover. One of them is the philatelic postmark (from the Philatelic window in Managua Post) whereas the other is the normal postmark of Managua Central Post Office "Tienda Palacios" because the Central Post is near of the old President Palace, actually the National Museum. Both postmarks are clear and nice. The cover was sent on 1 June and took 15 days to arrive in Singapore.
The cover was franked with 2 stamps in front and 6 stamps at the back. The 2 stamps are from the stamp set of rainforest animals with a complete set of 20 stamps. The stamps were issued in 1991 - the year that the third córdoba (córdoba oro) was introduced. The birds featured on the stamps are Amazona Parrot and Tucan. Another 6 stamps were issued in 1994 from a complete set of 12 stamps.
