Here is a throwback to one of our most popular episodes.
In season one, I had the privilege to chat with Richard Flack, South Africa's leading bird photographer. He told us all about his love for birds, his photographic journey, gave lots of photography tips – and we get to learn a lot more about the man behind the lens.
If you want to improve as a bird photographer (or even as a photographer in general), this is one episode you don't want to miss!
P.S. Richard will be on the show this season again - let us know if there are any questions you would like to us him.

It's and what better way to celebrate it than with the majestic Giant Kingfisher.
