"This is a beautiful and striking testament to the power of revisiting the same location time and time again. Becoming at one with the landscape and its inhabitants really is the best way to intuitively know when a good photographic opportunity is about to arise.
The book has been edited by former AP editor Keith Wilson, also very well known for his work with Wildlife Photographer of the Year and designed by Eddie Ephraums - a highly distinguished name in publishing. Stephen Dalton, the pioneering wildlife photographer and author, has written the foreword. The cast assembled to produce this book is nothing short of stellar, and the results speak for themselves.
Hugely recommended, the book itself is as beautiful as the gorgeous photography within."
- Amy Davis, Amateur Photographer
"For those of us weaned on bucket lists and destination photography, there's something almost contrary about a book built from one location. Canis didn't need a new continent to find new pictures; he needed to keep showing up to the same gate, the same fenceline, the same stretch of water, until the marsh gave something up that it hadn't offered before.
The images here bear that out. Fog rolling off flooded fields at dawn. A moorhen silhouetted on ice. A redshank landing mid-call in dew-soaked grass. None of this happens on a first visit. It happens on the 200th, or possibly the 2000th.
Depth of knowledge of a single place, its tides, its resident birds, its microclimates, produces images that a passing visitor simply can't get. It's the difference between photographing a location and understanding one."
- Tom May, Digital Camera World
