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.

Pretty amazing, especially given the fact that the bird must have flown over 1,000,000 kilometres so far in its 30-year life.
