In this episode, Bloom invites acclaimed Scottish musician Erland Cooper to tell us about growing up in Orkney, and the way its wildlife and sea-crashed landscape have become part of his music. We meet him in a bird hide at Walthamstow Wetlands in London where there's birdwatchers coming in and out, herons just outside and even a cameo from a kingfisher.
