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.

Rescue Centre Helps Avoid Birds' Swansong
Twenty-one swans have been rescued from freezing conditions on a waterway on the Somerset Levels, but 10 have been found dead on the ice.
Volunteers from Secret World Wildlife Rescue captured the birds, which were starving or stuck in the ice on the South Drain.
Animal care manager Sara Cowan said the swans could not find food because the ground and the water were frozen.
She said they had been put in a pen and would be fed until the weather eased.
"With the big freeze nothing has thawed and everything is really struggling now," she said.
"The swans are having terrible problems. They're flying around trying to find their waterways, but everything's just white and they're coming down on anything.
"We've had three on the hard shoulder of the M5 in the last two days.
"Once it's all defrosted they can come back down, but for now we will look after them."

Rescue Centre Helps Avoid Birds' Swansong
Twenty-one swans have been rescued from freezing conditions on a waterway on the Somerset Levels, but 10 have been found dead on the ice.
Volunteers from Secret World Wildlife Rescue captured the birds, which were starving or stuck in the ice on the South Drain.
Animal care manager Sara Cowan said the swans could not find food because the ground and the water were frozen.
She said they had been put in a pen and would be fed until the weather eased.
"With the big freeze nothing has thawed and everything is really struggling now," she said.
"The swans are having terrible problems. They're flying around trying to find their waterways, but everything's just white and they're coming down on anything.
"We've had three on the hard shoulder of the M5 in the last two days.
"Once it's all defrosted they can come back down, but for now we will look after them."

NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory captures what appears to be a giant smiley face on the sun - 08 Dec 2010
The sun may not be shining much, but it is SMILING!
This stunning image appears to show a smiley face formed on the star's fiery surface - or is the giant looking worried?
The quirky spectacle was captured on Wednesday (8 Dec) by NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO), a program designed enhance our understanding of the sun's impact on our chemistry and climate.
The extreme ultraviolet image shows different gas temperatures, with reds about 59,727C, blues and greens 999,727C.
The Observatory sends data to earth at the rate of 1.5 terabytes a day, equivalent to downloading half a million songs to an MP3 player.

Mafia Boss Giuseppe Setola, one of Italy's most wanted men is captured near his home in Caserta near Naples, Italy - 14 Jan 2009
A mafia godfather who escaped police after fleeing along a sewer has finally been arrested after visiting a private clinic in Italy. Giuseppe Setola, 38, is among Italy's 10 Most Wanted; he is wanted for 17 murders and is said to be in charge of a criminal empire that controls drug running, prostitution, extortion and arms. He is prime suspect in the murder of six Africans four months ago in what was described as one of the largest and bloodiest "group massacres" in clan wars in recent years. After being on the run for nearly a year police closed in on him earlier this week. However, Setola, who claims to be blind, escaped capture after running for more than a mile through a sewer while his two bodyguards fired at chasing police. He was later tracked down to a private medical 50 miles away, where he had gone under an assumed name to be treated for injuries he suffered during his escape. Staff at the clinic tipped off police after recognising him from his photofit.
