Birds of Qatar - 10 dirham

Issued in 1974 as part of Qatar's Birds definitive series, this stamp commemorates a group of migratory waterbirds flying across a coastal landscape. The design depicts several birds in flight above wetlands and open water, highlighting the importance of the Arabian Gulf as a seasonal stopover for migratory species traveling between Europe, Asia, and Africa. Qatar's coastal environments, mudflats, and lagoons provide valuable habitats that support numerous species of resident and migratory birds throughout the year.

By featuring migratory birds, the State of Qatar highlighted the richness of its natural heritage and the ecological importance of the Gulf region. The issue celebrated the diversity of avian wildlife and encouraged appreciation of nature conservation, emphasizing the need to protect habitats that support bird populations and ecological balance.
