European Brown Bears, Finland - Jul 2016
*Full story: http://www.rexfeatures.com/nanolink/skxn
These stunning photos of brown bears in the forests of Finland are the result of one photographer's endless hours of patience. During his two week trip wildlife photographer Will Nicholls spent 15 hours a day in a tiny wooden hide as he attempted to catch a glimpse of these elusive creatures. Despite their formidable size, the ancient Taiga forests that the bears call home extend for hundreds of miles meaning it can be extremely hard to spot them. Added to this there are estimated to be just 1,700 European brown bears left in Finland. Will comments: "I spent 15 hours each day, every day for 2 weeks, in a small wooden hide on the Russian Border in Finland. "With the sun never completely setting, I was awake through the night in an effort to spot one of Europe's most elusive mammals: the European brown bear.

Tigers let injured vulture get away, Bandhavgarh National Park, Madhya Pradesh, India - 2012

The Merciful Tigers: Predators Let Young Vulture Get Away
These stunning images show a young vulture looking like it is about to become a tiger's lunch - only to be allowed to escape.
Wildlife photographer Santosh Saligram captured the amazing scene as three tigers looked set for an easy meal.
He took these shots of a tigress and her two female juveniles in the wild at Bandhavgarh national park in central India.
Santosh explains: "The resident tigress and two of her female cubs were cooling off in the water of the famous Rajbehra Dam area.
"Suddenly, one of the tigresses noticed something on a rock at the corner and both the sisters went off to investigate.
"They reappeared shortly, following a juvenile long-billed vulture which seemed to have lost its way from its nest and incapacitated in some way.
"Threatened by the tigers, it tried to fly but only managed to flop down into the water. One of the tigresses then approached the vulture from the other side in a curious way.
"The vulture opened its beak wide in defence, hoping to put the tiger off, which it successfully did.
"Slowly, it started creeping towards the bank and after some time, climbed up the bank and disappeared into the bush. It was amazing, I have never seen anything like this happen in the wild."

Sink Or Swim For Baby Monkeys
It's a real case of sink or swim for these baby monkeys.
The tiny youngsters are seen holding onto their mothers for dear life as they get taken for a swim - whether they like it or not - in the search for food.
Wildlife photographer Dave Stevenson watched as the unwilling Japanese macaques got a dunking when their mothers dived to the bottom of a pool in Jigokundani, Japan.
The act left their children with a tricky choice - let go of mum or hold on tight and hold their breath.
Even after choosing to remain with their mother, the youngsters made every effort they could to stay above water.
Straining their necks and lifting their heads up high, some were able to avoid being totally submerged, while others weren't so fortunate.
Dave comments: "Their parents dive for grain at the bottom of the pool and the infants have a choice of waiting on the side or risking the water.
"Despite not liking being underwater much they cling on and get taken for a swim as a result".
They might dislike getting wet but these young monkeys will actually spend a lot of their lives in water.
Japanese macaques are also known as Snow Monkeys and during the winter months they are famous for spending much of the day keeping warm in the area's hot springs.
And when summer arrives they put their swimming skills to good use by fishing food from the bottom of water pools.
After a brisk swim it is time to dry out in the sun and have a passing neighbour groom you.
Meanwhile, after enduring their swimming lesson the young macaques are soon up to mischief when playtime begins.

Osprey catching a fish in Aviemore, Scotland - 27 Jun 2012
Mandatory Credit: Photo by Ron McCombe / Rex Features (1787905e)
Osprey Dives For Its Dinner
This hungry Scottish osprey knows exactly what he wants for his lunch and he'll go to great lengths to get it.
The beautiful bird was spotted diving for its dinner at a small loch in Aviemore, Scotland.
He then flew up and out of the water clutching the surprised rainbow trout with his claws.
The moment was captured on camera by wildlife enthusiast Ron McCombe, 57, who lives in the Borders.
"It was amazing to watch as the osprey swooped into the water from a really high height and still managed to catch his food," he said.
"I was lucky as my hide was only metres away from the loch so I had a good view of feeding time."
Osprey became extinct in England in 1840 and died out in Scotland in 1916.
But a pair of birds, thought to have come from Scandinavia, started breeding naturally at the RSPB reserve in Loch Garten in 1959 and today there are 200 pairs in Scotland.
The birds, also known as fish hawks, are now one of Aviemore's biggest summer attractions and large numbers of tourists visit each year hoping to see them.
Osprey are nearly two feet tall, have a six feet wingspan and only eat fish.
Since 2001 osprey have also been bred at two sites in England - Rutland Water in the Midlands and in the Lake District.
Sadly this year a number of nests have failed due to the very wet weather in recent weeks which has coincided with the nesting season.

Kingfisher fishing in a stream in Deal, Kent, Britain - 20 Aug 2011

Missed! Kingfisher Grabs Pebble Not Fish
This hapless kingfisher plunged into a British stream to catch a fish - but missed and grabbed a pebble instead.
The orange and turquoise bird was left flapping after the speedy fish darted off and evaded capture.
But, not to be put off, the common kingfisher returned to the water and this time managed to scoop up a meal.
Working with fellow photographers Mike Vurley and Rob McEwan, Tony Flashman spent ten hours a week for 18 months at the stream in question in Deal, Kent.
The 54-year-old would sit patiently in a hide watching the kingfishers as they fished.
He said: "This bird mis-timed its dive and missed the fish. It ended up picking up a small pebble that was nearby instead.
"It would have noticed its mistake pretty quickly when it went to bite into it and was met with a tough surface rather than something squidgy.
"The bird dropped the pebble before it emerged from the water.
"Kingfishers are extremely good at fishing and it is rare for them to miss.
"I spend hours at a time in my hide watching these spectacular birds. They are so enchanting.
"I have to be incredibly patient and alert at all times so I do not miss the best photographs.
"My camera can take nine frames a second and in that time the bird can leave its perch, dive into the water and leave with a fish.
"To get the timing right and get these photos is very difficult. I have taken hundreds of photos to get good one like these".

Animals use underground drain netwrok to cross road safely, Rugby, Warwickshire, Britain - 04 Jun 2010
Mandatory Credit: Photo by Paul Bunyard/Solent News / Rex Features ( 1206474e )
The Animal Underground
These clever animals have learnt a novel way to safely cross the road - by using an underground network of drains.
The rabbit and stoat scuttle underground from one side of the road to the other and pop out of drains in order to avoid being hit by traffic.
And the cute little owl is using the same drain system as a home while waiting for its mother to bring its food.
Amateur wildlife photographer Paul Bunyard captured the shots while driving on his way to work in Rugby, Warwickshire.
The 38-year-old snapped a quick photo of the stoat as it popped into the drain on the other side of the road to where he was before waiting for it to appear again.
However, rather than popping up from the same drain, instead the stoat traversed the animal underground and came out of a drain nearer to where Paul was standing.
He said: "It was luck more than anything.
"I thought he had become spooked by me stopping the car, but when he popped up nearer to where I was about 20 seconds later I couldn't believe it.
"He must have just been curious and wanted to get a closer look at me and my camera."
On another day Paul was again driving to work and this time saw a rabbit, but he wasn't quick enough to capture a shot before it ducked down inside the drain.
Waiting for half an hour, Paul's patience was rewarded when the critter popped up again and he was able to get his photo.
He said: "I found that after a car would drive by it would come out and I could get a good photo.
"It looked pretty young, about a month old, and it's the season for newborn animals."
Paul saw the owl, along with a sibling, being fed by their mother.
Paul and his colleagues quickly put cones around the drain to make sure the young fledglings were not harmed as they tentatively ventured...

The Animal Underground
These clever animals have learnt a novel way to safely cross the road - by using an underground network of drains.
The rabbit and stoat scuttle underground from one side of the road to the other and pop out of drains in order to avoid being hit by traffic.
And the cute little owl is using the same drain system as a home while waiting for its mother to bring its food.
Amateur wildlife photographer Paul Bunyard captured the shots while driving on his way to work in Rugby, Warwickshire.
The 38-year-old snapped a quick photo of the stoat as it popped into the drain on the other side of the road to where he was before waiting for it to appear again.
However, rather than popping up from the same drain, instead the stoat traversed the animal underground and came out of a drain nearer to where Paul was standing.
He said: "It was luck more than anything.
"I thought he had become spooked by me stopping the car, but when he popped up nearer to where I was about 20 seconds later I couldn't believe it.
"He must have just been curious and wanted to get a closer look at me and my camera."
On another day Paul was again driving to work and this time saw a rabbit, but he wasn't quick enough to capture a shot before it ducked down inside the drain.
Waiting for half an hour, Paul's patience was rewarded when the critter popped up again and he was able to get his photo.
He said: "I found that after a car would drive by it would come out and I could get a good photo.
"It looked pretty young, about a month old, and it's the season for newborn animals."
Paul saw the owl, along with a sibling, being fed by their mother.
Paul and his colleagues quickly put cones around the drain to make sure the young fledglings were not harmed as they tentatively ventured...

Tough Guy 2010 - Year of the Original Heroes, Wolverhampton, Britain - 31 Jan 2010
Tough Guy has evolved into one of the world's safest but hardest mental and physical endurance event, a six mile cross country run and an arduous assault course, known as the 'killing fields'. Thousands of competitors from every continent attempt this physically challenging and mentally demanding event, which takes place every winter. Running the course involves risking barbed wire, cuts, scrapes, burns, dehydration, hypothermia, electric shocks, sprains and twists. Due to the risks involved St. John Ambulance provide first aid and each competitor must sign a "death warrant" acknowledging the dangers of taking part so that no claims can be made in case of injury.

The Kingfisher emerges from the lake, the fish in it's beak, A fish takes its final breath as it is squeezed firmly in the sharp beak of a kingfisher. The brightly coloured bird swooped on the unsuspecting fish after spending minutes watching the water trying to spot its prey. Then he posed with his catch before devouring it in one mouthful. The stunning snap was taken by 32-year-old wildlife photographer Ilia Shalamaev, from Israel. Ilia spent four hours in a camouflaged tent by the side of a lake near Rishon LeZion in central Israel as he watched the kingfisher hunting in the lake.

FISH CAUGHT BY KINGFISHER TAKES ITS LAST GASP
A fish takes its final breath as it is squeezed firmly in the sharp beak of a kingfisher.
The brightly coloured bird swooped on the unsuspecting fish after spending minutes watching the water trying to spot its prey.
Then he posed with his catch before devouring it in one mouthful.
The stunning snap was taken by 32-year-old wildlife photographer Ilia Shalamaev, from Israel.
Ilia spent four hours in a camouflaged tent as he watched the kingfisher hunting in the lake.
He said: "The kingfisher located the fish in the water and swooped down like a rocket.
"Then the next moment he flew up and landed on the same perch again with the fish in his beak.
"After the catch he prepared the meal by striking the head of the fish against the perch few times.
"Then he ate it head first."
There are roughly 90 species of kingfisher, all of which are equipped with a long, pointed beak to hunt with.
They consume a wide range of prey, including fish and small reptiles.
Some of the larger species attack other birds and even small mammals.

The Sundeck, between 14th and 15th Streets, offers unobstructed views over the Hudson River. Water emerges from the spaces between planks to skim the upper walkway, while on the lower level, rail tracks are reinstalled in plantings derived from the High Line's self-sown landscape.
The Disused Elevated Rail Track Set To Become New York's Prettiest Park
THE DISUSED ELEVATED RAIL TRACK SET TO BECOME NEW YORK'S PRETTIEST PARK
A disused railway track looks set to become one of the prettiest parks in New York.
The High Line in west Chelsea is being converted into a park including floating ponds, sundecks and lookout spots over the Hudson River and Manhattan.
The elevated former industrial line had become decrepit and overgrown but thanks to the support of wealthy benefactors and several famous names it is undergoing a transformation into an amazing green space.
With the first phase set to open to the public later this month (June), the park should span 22 blocks once it's all open in 2010.
Stretching 1.45 miles, up to 30ft high and only 60ft wide, the line runs along Manhattan's West Side, from Gansevoort Street, in the Meatpacking District, through Chelsea to 34th Street.
Having last carried freight in 1980, it was saved from demolition by former mayor Michael Bloomberg and has seen high-profile support from the likes of Donna Karan, Ralph Lauren, Susan Sarandon, Harvey Weinstein and Jerry Seinfeld.
With $50m needed to complete the project, a recent star-studded fundraising gala saw individuals donations of $10m each from media mogul Barry Diller, whose corporate headquarters overlooks the elevated tracks...

Jodie Minett (22 from Newcastle) underwater in the "Cage of Death" for a close underwater encounter with "Burt" the 5.1 metre croc- the famous saurian that attacked Linda Kozlowski's character in the 1987 smash movie "Crocodile Dundee" . Jodie was the first member of the public to go down in the cage for an eyeball to eyeball encounter with the crocs at the new £14 million crocodile venture "Crocosaurus Cove" just opened in the very heart of Darwin Australia., Swimming with crocodiles - patrons at the new "Crocosaurus Cove" in Darwin Australia swim in a pool at the attraction with just a thin wall of perspex seperating them from Denzil - a 16 foot killer crocodile. The new £14 million crocodile venture "Crocosaurus Cove" just opened in the very heart of Darwin Australia.
Cage of Death - Swim with the Crocs, Crocosaurus Cove, Darwin, Australia - 13 Jul 2008
A CLOSE ENCONTER OF THE CROCODILE KIND
The sharp-toothed killer lays motionless and camouflaged alongside a log three metres under the water, its eyes and huge jaw wide open.
As the bikini clad tourist enters the water the hungry crocodile, all of 5.1 metres in length, doesn't stir.
The girl slips slowly under the water until she is just a metre from the beast, then wham, with a pressure of two tons per square inch the animal's jaws snap shut in an instant.
A scene from a 'B' grade Hollywood movie? A page one newspaper shocker?
Actually we're in the very centre of the city of Darwin in Australia, amongst the supermarkets, cinemas, pubs, restaurants and backpacker hotels, at a brand new $29 million crocodile amusement park, "Crocosaurus Cove".
And the girl who seemed in such mortal danger is actually beaming from ear to ear. The croc, on the other hand, is looking far from happy.
