First Albatross returns for 2011/12 season

13 Sep 2011

Red-Orange-Blue (ROB) arrived back today, touching down exactly on the spot where he had previously bred. ROB is a 27 year old male. Six years passed between the death of his first partner and his breeding attempts with his second partner. A couple of years later he was bereaved again but found a third partner after two more years. Unfortunately she also died and since 2007 ROB has been on his own. ROB was also the first bird to arrive back for the 2010-2011 season.
