Abstract

We have started ringing the Wandering Albatross chicks in our monitoring colonies. Chicks are given a unique numbered ring which we can use to track them over their entire lifespan. These chicks will fledge in November/December and will hopefully return to Marion in 7-10 years' time to start practicing their breeding dance and finding a mate.
