A long-overdue podcast! Moving forward, in an effort to make these more regular, I’ll be aiming to record shorter, bite-sized episodes.

I take a stroll around 'my' wood, encounter dragonflies and, such is the spontaneous nature of this podcast, have a little grumble about a few things that suddenly pop into my head including Nikon's lack of supplying a RAW file for multiple exposures.

In this episode, I take a walk around part of Cliffe Pools on the Isle of Grain, and talk about a hugely influential British landscape photographer.

Following an unintentional break, I'm back with a roundup of what I've been up to and what lay ahead including a recent tour to Umbria and an upcoming research trip to Finland for wolves and bears! I discuss my strategy for backing up photos, and during the recording, experience two wonderful encounters.  Call of the black-throated diver: https://www.british-birdsongs.uk/black-throated-diver/

I'm on the Kent marshes in this episode to test a new light meter. Spring is in full swing with the sound of waders all around. If only May would last for three months instead of just the one!  Photos from the day: www.robertcanis.com/blog

In this episode, I visit a familiar country lane and woodland to photograph bluebells and discuss the work of an inspirational nature photographer. Please bear with it until the very last second as just when I planned to finish and head home, I decided to go elsewhere!

In this episode, I return to the same country lane as in the first in the hope of photographing my favourite woodland flower - wood anemones.

    Cardiac Cowboys

    The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
