A Rare Find
Though it may be difficult to tell, this image shows researchers using a light to monitor the health of a egg from a Bermuda petrel, a songbird almost lost to legend. The national bird of Bermuda, it was believed to have gone extinct for hundreds of years, until a population was rediscovered in the 1950s. Conservation efforts have begun to increase its numbers, but it remains the second rarest seabird in the world, making any egg sighting all the more special. This is another highly commended selection.
