    World's Rarest Birds Captured On Camera
    These remarkable pictures reveal some of the world's rarest birds - which have only ever been photographed by a handful of people.

    The unique shots were captured by patient photographers who travelled to some of the remotest places on the planet and spent weeks behind the lens.

    They are all winning entries in an international competition to secure images of the 566 most threatened birds on Earth.

    They are to be featured in a new book, The World's Rarest Birds, which aims to highlight the plight of these endangered birds.

    "These are all incredibly rare birds and capturing them on camera shows a huge commitment by each photographer," said Andy Swash, a member of the World's Rarest Project team.

    "You can't just go out into your back garden and get these shots. These birds live in really remote locations.

    "Once you have got there you often have to spend hours waiting to see these and getting any image, let alone the one you want, could take weeks or months."

    One of the most spectacular images shows a Kakapo, a flightless parrot from New Zealand, taken by photographer Shane McInnes.

    There are just 124 of these birds remaining in the wild, but amazingly this picture was snapped on a compact camera just a metre or so away from the parrot.

    "Very few people have been fortunate to get that close to a Kakapo. But they are not used to predators and are not worried by humans so Shane has ended up was able to take this fantastic shot," added Andy.

    Another image shows a Brazilian Merganser with its eight young ducklings, which can only be found on fast-flowing rivers in central Brazil and north-eastern Argentina.

    The population is less than 250 and decreasing due to pollution and changes in water flow.

    NUT A GOOD IDEA

    A young Chinese boy managed to get his middle finger tightly trapped in a screw nut - and which could only be taken off after 16 hours of frantic efforts.

    The 2-year-old boy, of Tianshui, northwestern China's Shaanxi province, put the nut on his right middle finger one evening and couldn't get it off again, even after visiting several different hospitals.

    The next morning, 14 hours after the incident, the mother, Mrs. Li, had to call the local firefighters for help.

    "When we arrived, the boy's finger had turned purple in color. If the nut had not been taken off immediately, the boy's finger may have had to be amputated," said a spokesman of the office.

    Considering the potential danger of using electric cutting machinery on the boy, firefighters inserted a screw driver in between the nut and the finger and sawed through the top of the nut by hand.

    During the cutting, fire fighters used every means to divert the attention of the crying baby, like making weird faces, letting him play with toys, and singing kids' songs.

    It took 2 hours for the fire fighters to saw through the tight nut.

    Hospital checks found the boy's ...
