Charles Handley charms birds out of trees. He simply stands there
Charles Handley charms birds out of trees. He simply stands there and they flock to him in a swooping, swirling spectacular like this magical scene yesterday. Sparrows are his favourites. Most days for the past 10 years, he has travelled from his home at Herne Hill, London, to spend a couple of hours feeding them in St Jamess Park near Buckingham Palace. Charles, 74, takes along a pocketful of bread and a pocketfull of seed. And his friend eat out of his hand. March 1984 P012636

Charles Handley - The Bird Whisperer of St. James's Park
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this enchanting print captured in March 1984, we witness the extraordinary bond between Charles Handley and his feathered friends. Standing amidst the lush trees of St. James's Park near Buckingham Palace, Charles effortlessly lures birds out of their perches with a mesmerizing charm that seems almost magical. For over a decade now, this devoted bird lover has made it his daily ritual to visit these picturesque grounds all the way from his home in Herne Hill, London. Armed with nothing more than pockets filled with bread and seeds, he beckons sparrows – his beloved companions – to flock around him in a breathtaking display of nature's harmony. As the photograph reveals, Charles stands still as statuesque as ever while countless birds gracefully swoop and swirl around him. Their trust is evident as they fearlessly eat out of his hand, forming an awe-inspiring spectacle that captures both hearts and imaginations alike. This remarkable scene serves as a testament to the power of human-animal connection and reminds us that even amidst bustling city life, moments of pure serenity can be found when one embraces nature wholeheartedly. Through Charles Handley's unwavering dedication and gentle demeanor, he has become known as the "Bird Whisperer" - an embodiment of compassion for our avian counterparts. With this image frozen in time by Mirrorpix on Memory Lane Prints, we are transported back to an era where
