Focus on Birders: Chiara Talia The Casual Birder Podcast

Chiara Talia's gorgeous photographs, along with her tips on how to improve at both birding and bird photography, make her Instagram account a must for everyone's feed.
In this episode, Chiara tells Suzy how a walk in the park, and a chance encounter with a European Robin, led to a passion for bird photography and a pathway to healing at a time when she was struggling with her mental health.
We also hear about her experiences using a floating bird hide in Slovenia, and her search for the Southern Cassowary in Australia.
