Lundy wildlife stamps 2010


Lundy, off the north coast of Devon, has the oldest private postal service in the world. In May 2010, Lundy issued a new set of stamps, called Island Wildlife.

The currency unit for these five stamps is "puffin", which equates to the British penny.

Lundy issues a new set every two years and they become rare collector's items.
