Another Melanesian rarity found again. Read all about it (and see the first ever photograph) on: www.birdlife.org/news/news/2006/06/becks_petrel.html
Great news!
Now they only have to locate some of the breeding localities, I guess the Solomon and Vanuatu Islands would be the best places to search.
Why? It has done just fine without our help.
Twite.

You wonder why that would be a good thing? Well, thats easy, its much easier to monitore and safeguard the breeding colonies if you know where they are, and if they face any threats its easier to try and do something about it..... snip.
snip.....There is not many breeding colonies of sea-birds left in the Bismarck Archipelago, most is long gone and the remaning face all sorts of threat as none of them recieve any serious protection.
Which is it?
Better rush off and tick it before it becomes extinct. :C
