These stunning wildlife photographs taken by Chris Packham over the last 15 years show nature in all its glory. 

The BBC Springwatch presenter is set to open his debut photography exhibition, titled More Beautiful Than You, as he lets his artistic side 'take centre stage'. 

The images were captured by Mr Packham, 64, in countries across the world, from Botswana and Kenya to Iceland, Chile and the cypress swamps of Louisiana.

He said that one of the photos shows a butterfly drinking an elephant's tears because the insect is attracted to salts - and once drank from his sweaty boots after a hike.

Mr Packham's fine art photography exhibition opens to the public at Iconic Images Gallery in Piccadilly, London, on Thursday, March 12.

However, tonight celebrities including Emma Thompson, Gary Lineker, Robert Smith, Jennifer Saunders, Brian Eno and Zoe Ball will attend a high-profile private viewing.

The wildlife presenter said: 'This exhibition feels like a coming together of the two forces that have shaped me, science and art. Because for me, science is the art of understanding truth and beauty.

'Photography allows me to examine the beauty of the natural world with both the precision of science and wonder of art.'
