Ένας φωτογράφος έχει γίνει μια πραγματική ζωή Δρ Dolittle μετά την ανάπτυξη μιας τέτοιας στενής σχέσης με τα άγρια ζώα που τρώνε κατευθείαν από το χέρι του.

Ο Steve Gray, 39 ετών, από την Whitwell, Derbyshire, έχει περάσει τρία χρόνια κερδίζοντας την εμπιστοσύνη των πουλιών, των voles και των αρουραίων για να αναπτύξει έναν απίστευτο δεσμό.

Τα συνήθη πλαστά πλάσματα θα προσεγγίσουν ευτυχώς τον Steve χωρίς φόβο και θα παραμείνουν μαζί του, ενώ θα απολαύσουν ένα γεύμα από σφολιάτα, καρδιές ή σπόρους ηλίανθου.

Ήταν τόσο έκπληκτος για να δει πόσο κοντά θα έρθουν ότι κατάφερε να συλλάβει την εκπληκτική συμπεριφορά στην κάμερα σε μια σειρά εκπληκτικών εικόνων.

Steve Gray, 39, from Whitwell, Derbyshire, has spent three years gaining the trust of birds, voles and rats to develop an incredible bond The usually-timid creatures will happily approach Steve without fear and stay with him while they enjoy a meal of mealworms, sunflower hearts or seeds He was so surprised to see how close they would come that he managed to capture the astonishing behaviour on camera in a series of stunning images Steve said: 'There is no better feeling, in my mind. The trust that develops is unbelievable. I've had robins perched on my hand with their backs to me - now, that is some trust' 'It all started about three years ago when I began to notice an increasing number of birds starting to appear in the trees in the area where I walked my dogs' 'I started taking some bird food down with me and leaving it on a nearby fence. Eventually, the birds would be waiting for me, perched on the fence' 'Then, one day, I was walking towards the fence with the food in my hand, when a robin just flew over and landed on my hand and perched there for about a minute with little concern' 'I was in utter disbelief and I thought no one would ever believe me, so I went out and bought a camera - despite not knowing the first thing about cameras' But despite most birds and many other small creatures becoming friendly with Steve, there are many he hasn't yet managed to tame Steve continued returning to the site close to his home on a regular basis - and soon found the birds would recognise his car pulling up And the more interest the birds took, other wildlife including voles and rats turned up to get in on the action Steve, who also works as a lab technician, feeds the creatures out of his left hand so that he can operate his camera with his right 'The bank voles started to appear when the scraps of bird food were falling on the floor and so I started to photograph them coming in and out of the undergrowth. It took me 22 days to get the first bank vole to hand feed'
