The Ringed Plover seen at Pennington Flash in May 1996 was 18 years and 22 days + however old it was when ringed as an adult.
The current record holder is a Norfolk bird at 19 years 8 months 19 days (also ringed as an adult)
I don't have a good memory - all this is from the BTO webpages as well

For a while the oldest known Ringed Plover was a bird ringed at Walney Island as an adult bird and which was then present for a while at Pennington Flash, at the age of 18 years plus a few months (can't remember exactly), back in either 1995 or 1996. I'm fairly sure that's been exceeded since by a bird elsewhere.
