An albatross, believed to be 64-years-old, returns to nest for her 37th chick

Her name is Wisdom and she is an albatross who is believed to be 64-years-old. She is a Laysan albatross and was sighted near Hawaii on the remote island Midway Atoll on 19 November with her mate. She has already raised 36 chicks and is nesting for her 37th.
This has been reported in news.sky.com dated 26 November 2015.

She had been tagged in 1956 as she incubated an egg and, at the time, she was thought to be around five years old.
AS informed by Dan Clark, manager of the Midway Atoll National Wildlife Refuge and Battle of Midway National Memorial, the albatross Wisdom had returned almost a year to the day after she reared her last chick. He has added that in the face of dramatic seabird population decreases worldwide (a 70% drop since the 1950s when Wisdom was first branded), this bird has become a symbol of hope and inspiration.
They lay only one egg per year and, a breeding albatross and their mate will spend approximately six months rearing and feeding their young.
In her lifetime, Wisdom is thought to have flown more than six million miles as she foraged for food, including squid, fish, crustaceans and flying fish eggs.
