This 1 stotinka stamp from Bulgaria features the Dalmatian Pelican (Pelecanus crispus), one of Europe’s largest freshwater birds. The design highlights the species in its natural wetland habitat, referencing the Srebarna Nature Reserve—an important UNESCO Biosphere site along the Danube. Issued as part of a conservation-themed series, it celebrates Bulgaria’s rich avian diversity and its commitment to protecting endangered species. The clean graphical style and bilingual inscription reflect 1970s Bulgarian philatelic design aesthetics.
