Introduced by David Attenborough

Once on a tiny coral atoll in the middle of the South Pacific, the US Navy fought - and lost - a battle against birds. They even blew up the birds with shrapnel bombs. Some died, a few moved off... and more came back to breed again.

It was the gooney birds of Midway Atoll that beat the US Navy.

Now the sailors have learnt to live with them, and to love them as well. The gooney, the most beautiful Laysan albatross, has become the emblem of the island.
