Lundy Island

The name Lundy is believed to come from the old Norse word for "puffin island" (Lundey), lundi being the Norse word for a puffin and ey, an island, although an alternative explanation has been suggested with Lund referring to a copse, or wooded area. According to genealogist Edward MacLysaght the surname Lundy is from Norman de la Lounde, a name recorded in medieval documents in counties Tipperary and Kilkenny in Ireland.

Wow! a great Puffin card from Lundy Island. I seem to also have quite a Puffin flock 

growing in my postal collection! Also very interesting to note the private stamps of Lundy Island which features its namesake. A little disappointed that this postcard seems to have missed

getting a postmark but on another note, I have mint Lundy and Puffin stamps ;)  Thanks Tom!
