Jean Pierre sent me this beautiful cover from the Seychelles, thank you very much! It was posted in Victoria on January 27, 2010.
Jean Pierre affixed three stamps of the fish definitives series. They depict the Indian butterflyfish (Chaetodon mitratus), the goldbar wrasse (Thalassoma hebraicum), and the palette surgeonfish (Paracanthurus hepatus). The right two stamps are part of the set “25th Anniversary of Aldabra as a World Heritage Site”, which was issued on December 11, 2007. They depict the endangered plant Solanum aldabrensis and the dugong (Dugong dugon).
