Albatrosses pair up for life and they do return to land and to their nesting sites. Breeding pairs usually produce just one egg per year. Nesting sites are almost always in very remote small islands where they go unobserved by humans. It is something of a myth that they never come to dry land. They are capable of flying vast distances by locking their wings, at what would be our shoulder joint, and gliding on thermals or local air pressure 'pockets' formed by the swell or waves at sea. They can cover thousands of miles in this way. They are very unusual in that they can drink sea water and have a method of getting rid of the salt. They can feed by diving for fish and squid etc close to the surface and can also take fish from the surface with their beak as they skim the surface. They are known to live beyond 50 years.
