Chan Robbins caught a Laysan Albatross this year that was previously banded
and is at least 51 years old!

"LONDON, England -- One of the world's oldest living wild birds is marking
its golden jubilee by preparing to breed again".
"First ringed by ornithologists in 1957, the bird's journeys were made
while
migrating between Britain and South America".
"It was re-discovered on April 4 this year in a colony of several thousand
others on Bardsey, an island off the Lleyn peninsula in north Wales".
