Bird sets record as UK's oldest Arctic tern
By Mark Kinver, Science and environment reporter, BBC News
A sea-bird has officially become the UK's oldest recorded Arctic Tern.
It was ringed as a chick on the Farne Islands on 28 June, 1980, making it at least 30 years, two months and 23 days old. The birds typically live 13 years.
This bird's record-breaking status was confirmed after it was recaptured this summer on the islands, located a few miles off the Northumberland coast.
Arctic terns' 44,000-mile (70,000km) pole-to-pole migration is the longest known annual journey of any animal...

This tern must have gotten some tips from the Lady of the Loch on living a long life!

Nearly as old as I am!
And yes, MAK - maybe the Lady of Lowes and this amazing tern are acquainted. Imagine all the things they have seen... if they could but tell us.
