Some of world's rarest birds captured on camera - 25 Jan 2011

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.

Police, firefighters and repairman free child trapped in washing machine, Xi'an, Shaanxi province, China - 11 Mar 2010
EMERGENCY SERVICES FREE CHILD TRAPPED IN WASHING MACHINE
Firefighters, police and a repairman all had to be called after a three-year-old girl got stuck in a washing machine in Xi'an, Shaanxi province.
According to young Bei Bei's grandmother she heard the youngster screaming at around 9:30am.
When she hurried to investigate she found her granddaughter stuck tight in the washing machine.
"I tried to lift her out but her knees and butt were stuck very tightly in the tube," she said.
Unable to free the youngster she was forced to call the police, who also failed to extract Bei Bei.
Eventually fire fighters and a washing machine repairman had to be called for help.
"Once we stepped into the home we heard the kid's screaming," said Hou Fei, head of Chang'an fire fighting team. "The girl was bent over on the tube, hands slapping the machine".
It then took the combined efforts of the police officers, fire fighters and the repairman to free Bei Bei.
They eventually succeed in dismantling the machine and pulled her free, with only a few scratches to show for her ordeal, more than an hour later.

EMERGENCY SERVICES FREE CHILD TRAPPED IN WASHING MACHINE
Firefighters, police and a repairman all had to be called after a three-year-old girl got stuck in a washing machine in Xi'an, Shaanxi province.
According to young Bei Bei's grandmother she heard the youngster screaming at around 9:30am.
When she hurried to investigate she found her granddaughter stuck tight in the washing machine.
"I tried to lift her out but her knees and butt were stuck very tightly in the tube," she said.
Unable to free the youngster she was forced to call the police, who also failed to extract Bei Bei.
Eventually fire fighters and a washing machine repairman had to be called for help.
"Once we stepped into the home we heard the kid's screaming," said Hou Fei, head of Chang'an fire fighting team. "The girl was bent over on the tube, hands slapping the machine".
It then took the combined efforts of the police officers, fire fighters and the repairman to free Bei Bei.
