A Sanderling with colour ring combination:

Right leg: White Flag/Metal
Left Leg: Yellow/Red/Yellow

Was recorded at Gib Point on 12th June 2010 by John Nicholson. Ringed at Alert, Ellesmere Island, Nunavut, Canada on Sept 3rd 1997 as a juvenile. At 13 years this equals the oldest known record for Sanderling.
Excellent record John.

This is a really nice record and I wonder if it has a nice history over those years? It isn't quite the oldest though, as the Wash has a 17-year-old bird:
