List members concerned with bird matters in our northern neighbour PNG may be interested in the news that a recent PNG stamp issue seems to have used the wrong image of a Harpy Eagle (using that of an American rather than the NG species), and the wrong name for the Osprey. The errors were pointed out by a keen-eyed young PNG graduate student studying in the USA.
