This set of Lundy Island stamps highlights the Lundy Bird Observatory and features beautifully illustrated birds native to the island:
-
Waxwing (350 Puffin) perched near Millcombe House
-
Guillemots and Puffins (ROW) along Lundy’s cliffs
-
Atlantic Puffins (2nd Puffin) in flight and on the water
-
House Sparrows (1st Puffin) outside a stone cottage
-
Oystercatchers (40 Puffin) foraging along rocky shores
Lundy Island stamps are denominated in Puffins, Lundy’s own local unit (1 Puffin = 1 British penny). Each stamp is a miniature piece of wildlife art that is popular with collectors of birds on stamps, British locals, and thematic issues.
Lundy Island is famous for its seabird colonies, especially puffins — the very bird that gives the stamps their currency name.
