    The first time I learned about the albatross was when I was a kid probably 10 years old or younger. It was a song by Iron Maiden called Rime of the Ancient Mariner, that song was based off a poem written by Samuel Taylor Coleridge of the same name that introduced me to the amazing birds. It was because of that song and poem that I learned great respect for the albatross.

      My first exposure to this animal was through the song “Echoes” by Pink Floyd. It’s an absolute masterpiece of 1970s prog rock.

    Great work and dedication from all the scientists and observers.

    I'm a follower of the Albatross Center of Taiaroa Head, (Dunedin, New Zealand). It's amazing how much love, effort and dedication the entire DoC team is able to give to these magnificent birds.

      @jorgedelatorre I follow Taiaroa Head Albies, too, via Lady Hawk (YT channel). It's been such a wonderful education. They are such magnificent creatures! Even though I'm on the West Coast of the USA, I rang by bell last week for the return of the walndering Toroa.

    Thank you for your brilliant work towards their survival.

      With all the technology to learn the habits of animals you would expect scientists to realise that there is an invisible force controlling nature. All birds have nine air pockets. Isn't that strange how evilution gave all birds 9 air pockets. What garbage. Evolution is brain washing lies. Nature is full of God's miracles. Turtles locate the ascension islands each year from 1500miles away. All migrations are achieved through God. The Cuckoo migrates without direction from other birds. Coral reefs spawn together once each year. Cicada swarm exactly every 17 years. We also now have all the evidence we need to know the earth is flat. Antarctica is 30degress colder than the arctic and does not get 24hour sunlight. The fantasy curve should be 66feet over 10 miles but we can see land which should be way over the curve. The suez canal is 100 miles long and has no locks. Tides are not uniform and do not affect lakes. Tides are fundamental to reproduction and feeding. How? Why? Well satan rules this world, just as sit says in the KJV Bible. The rothschilds/red/edom nation control world governments from the satanic sovereign state city of London. They run the worlds national banks and control governments and education, media and scientific establishments supporting evolution and globe earth and suppressing evidence of flat earth and Nature being God's creation. Almighty God controls everything knows everything and will judge everyone.

      Hi. I lived on midway for almost 4 yrs in 1970. My dad a naval officer. I attended school at george cannon starting at 4th grade. There is few hundred servicemen and their families. The single guys lived in barracks. Watching this video I noticed I did not see any of the rusted wreckage of the fighter war planes scattered along the shoreline from the end of the airstrip to the naval station where my dad works. I am homesick
