This is rather wonderful and heartwarming!

The world's oldest known wild bird has laid an egg at the approximate age of 74, US biologists say.

Wisdom, a Laysan albatross, was filmed by the US Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) at the Midway Atoll national wildlife refuge in the Pacific Ocean with her latest partner looking after the egg.

Wild? I imagine that she's livid; all that disruption in the nest, not to mention the paparazzi outside
