| Abstract: | A male Cory's Shearwater Calonectris diomedea was found occupying a nest site on 28 March 1987, in the same area of a colony where it was ringed as a pullus in 1985. The same bird was found incubating on 14 June 1987 in the same nest site which it led in March. The egg did not hatch. The following year the bird turned up again, breeding in the same nest site. This time the egg hatched and the pair successfully raised the young. |
