rdfs:comment	Edgar Percival Chance (* 30. März 1881 in Birmingham; † 1955) war ein britischer Industrieller und Ornithologe, der in einem Zeitraum, in der das Sammeln von Vogeleiern noch legal war, eine Vogeleier-Sammlung von mehr als 25.000 Eiern zusammentrug. Bekannt ist er heute vor allem für seine wegweisenden Untersuchungen über den Brutparasitismus des eurasischen Kuckucks. Sein Versuch, weltweit die meisten Eier eines einzelnen Kuckucksweibchens während einer Brutperiode zu sammeln, führte zwischen 1918 und 1925 zu einer groß angelegten und sorgfältig ausgeführten Feldstudie über das Verhalten einzelner Kuckuckweibchen. Wegen seiner langjährigen Beschäftigung mit dem Verhalten des Kuckucks wurde er in Großbritannien auch unter dem Namen Cuckoo Chance bekannt.

Szczególnie interesował się życiem kukułek. Swoje obserwacje opierał głównie na badaniach jaj tego gatunku, w 1922 roku ustanowił światowy rekord zbioru jaj podczas jednego sezonu lęgowego (25). W tym samym roku został autorem jednego z pierwszych filmów przyrodniczych „Tajemnice przyrody: sekret kukułek”. Był też autorem książek opisujących życie i zwyczaje tego gatunku: „Sekret kukułek” wydana w 1922 roku, oraz „Prawda o kukułkach” wydana w 1940 roku. (pl)
