The Estonian Ornithological Society and Estonian Post have issued a stamp with this year’s Bird of the year, the kingfisher, and a first-day envelope and maxi card. Artist Vladimir Taiger has created the set. The stamp, with a nominal value of 0,45 euro, has been printed in 60 000 copies.
For the first time in the 20-year history of electing a bird of the year a song dedicated to the bird of the year has also been born.

Author of song text is Peep Veedla, tune and presentation by Riho Sibul.
