A critically endangered bird thought to be extinct following a hurricane has been rediscovered by English students.
 
Endangered species the Bahama Nuthatch had been thought to have disappeared following Hurricane Matthew in September 2016, until now.
 
Matthew Gardner and David Pereira, maters students from the University of East Anglia (UEA), Norfolk, found the bird on the island of Grand Bahama, thought to be one of only two left in existence.
 
In partnership with Birdlife International and the Bahamas National Trust, the pair covered 700km of pine forest over three months, even playing recordings of the bird’s high-pitched, squeaky call, before capturing the elusive animal on film in May.
 
Matthew said: “We were the first to undertake such an exhaustive search through 700km of forest on foot.
