Nimbus: The Story of a Young Wandering Albatross

Nimbus was a young Wandering Albatross returning to the colony for the first time, after

roaming the world's oceans for five years, to find the rookery in turmoil; Whitewing, the colony

leader, had failed to return thus leaving the position open to all, including him despite

the fact he still wasn't old enough to mate.

But if he took part in the flight to see

who could get the highest and stay there an hour could he survive the nasty

tactics of some other birds, especially Whirlwind, trying to put him out of

the competition?
