What a wonderful surprise today!
Ace wildlife photographer Robert Canis Photography from Sittingbourne popped in with a sneak preview of his magical new 208-page book all about Sheppey's award-winning Elmley Nature Reserve.
We are hoping to have copies for sale here at the Criterion Blue Town shortly.
We also asked Robert if he would mind giving a talk for next year's Festival of Sheppey about how he managed captured the stunning pictures over the past 30 years.
