Abstract
In all, 32 recoveries of yellow-nosed albatrosses banded on Nightingale, Tristan da Cunha suggest that the immatures migrate to the waters off southwest Africa but return to the breeding islands as adults some years later. Only 1 adult (aged 32 yr) was recovered in southwest African waters. All other birds, aged from 8 to nearly 37 yr, were recovered during nesting season on Nightingale. Recovery rate is .apprx. 5%.
