35-yr-old Oystercatcher..........
Just in case you didn't spot it in news and views the full text:
A 35-year-old oystercatcher flew into the record books yesterday, having covered at least 150,000 airmiles between the East Coast of England and Norway. The noisy black-and-white bird, caught at Wainfleet, Lincolnshire, during a ringing exercise by the British Trust for Ornithology, is the oldest wader recorded in Britain. Chris Mead, from the trust, said yesterday: “We had no idea an oystercatcher could reach the ripe old age of 35.” El Annie  Extract from conserv@tion http://www.habitat.org.uk/news1.htm |
