Issued in 1975 by the République Rwandaise, this 20-centime stamp beautifully portrays the White Pelican (Pelican blanc). Illustrated by J. Van Noten, the design features two pelicans — one gliding gracefully in flight and another in close-up, emphasizing the bird’s characteristic long beak and soft plumage tones. The scene captures the serene beauty of Rwanda’s lakes, home to many aquatic bird species. A fine example of Rwanda’s ornithological philatelic series of the 1970s, it remains a favorite among wildlife-themed collectors.
