Hi Rob. Thank you so much for your comment and the extra support. I have a lot of ideas lined up: Fact files, lists, underwater videos and some longer videos where I visit new places looking for wildlife. I hope you will enjoy them all!
@@AShotOfWildlife You are welcome. I am so fortunate to live in a beautiful part of the UK (Forest of Dean) and really appreciate the wildlife we have here. Would love for you to do a video on wild boars - we have plenty of them! Best wishes, Tracey
@@Korrieification thanks. I have it in my unmade plans to come to the forest of dean and do a video about wild boars. Hopefully that'll be this autumn!
Beautiful images of underwater creatures. I love watching them like a big aquarium and the water is clean and clear enough to enjoy them . Thanks for sharing!
Liam always love your videos, I have lived outside of the UK 25 years but you make me homesick sometimes for the amazing but subtle wildlife the UK has! You also have such a soothing voice your videos are the perfect end of day experience before sleep!
Wow - this was wonderful to watch! I was totally immersed in this underwater world! Beautifully shot Liam, and so great to see the clear fresh water so full of summer sunshine and fascinating fish. Thank you!
Absolutely brilliant! :D Fascinating to see what is totally hidden from us when we walk on by these types of places, good to see they are full of life. You are doing a grand job with the channel great work :D
What a brilliant idea to film this. I really enjoyed this video, and definitely look forward to seeing more (I enjoy your other videos as well 🙂) Thank you.
Thank you for being you. It’s just wonderful to see the waterways are keeping fresh fish and some invasive species that we need to deal with. Most important is to put them on the plate and eat them. If one can regards down under where a plate would be welcome to you as we have the most fabulous seafood in the world here, cheers mate
Really enjoyed the video Liam 👌 interesting and I like the little snippets of humour you incorporate in it. Great to see Bullheads & Stone Loaches in River Tas. Well done 👏
Thanks. I have been doing some more filming at the Lake but it'll be a while before I cam do it justice with a great video. However, I do have a lot of other content coming up so stay tuned for that. Cheers
exellent underwater filming very interesting it would be great to see some more underwater shots as well as your wildlife land ones thanks for taking the trouble to film them
I'm sure that I am not alone in hoping that you make more videos like this one, because it's rare that we get the chance to see what lives beneath the surface of a river or stream or lake unless the water is still, so thank you, Liam, for taking the time out to film this great diversity of aquatic life.
Hey Liam. Great video yet again 😊 You should go check out some water troughs in fields, I've found loads of things in them including Sticklebacks. I think they eggs come off passing birds that stop for a drink or a dip? Surprising what you find in small water pockets.
I have found sticklebacks in horse troughs too... but I think its most likely they've been put there on purpose. I once spoke to a farmer and he said he had them in all his troughs because they eat any parasites.
Thank you so much, for your comment and the extra support! I am currently editing a longer form video where I visit several places on a weekend away, lots of wildlife and lots of interesting (hopefully) information about the things I see. Cheers
Yeah iv heard all about the big pike, always lurking in the depths . Unfortunately i can't fish for them till October 1st . Oh well it's the rare birds that make the fishing trips for me
me myself i'm a splosher, seeing how happy your pants were at the start i wonder if you are too:) defiantly something i'm interested in, never thought about remote underwater photography, love to see more of what you find
Lol. I don't know what you mean when you say my pants were happy? It's exciting. I used to go angling and now instead of catching fish with a rod and reel, I catch them on camera instead.
Great. Well going forward there will be more like this, mixed in with the content ive been producing for the past few months. Hopefully something for everyone.
Thanks Donna. I would say both the stone loach and the bullhead are similar to catfish in behaviour and appearance but they are not actually that closely related.
Brilliant video mate, I live in North Norfolk and on many occasions I've even seen flounder swimming under a bridge in Norwich near Pottergate, imagine how far from the sea they are! Flounder enter fresh water from time to time but these fish seem to be totally acclimatised to the fresh water and are quite happy where they are. As a lad, I grew up fishing for trout on the river Glaven at "Cley next the sea" and I have seen some spectacular sights including a massive sea trout of perhaps 15 - 20lb swimming by only inches from my feet, gave me a bit of a scare actually!! Also the river is invaded by thousands of sea lampreys during their spawning time and they often gather between Bayfield and Letheringsett, I've seen the river 'turn black' with them in places. The river Glaven is one of the few places where our native White clawed crayfish is doing well in the river's 'upper reaches' beyond Letheringsett.. I've always thought that if you want to see spectacular wildlife, there's no need to go abroad anywhere, You just have to take a closer look at what's around you and you'll be amazed at what there is to see here in the British isles..........................
I completely agree. Its actually one on my main motivators for this channel, to show people the wildlife that they can actually walk out of there house and see! I am familiar with the Glaven, but have never seen the lampreys. I must make an effort to get up and see them as that would be a fantastic sight! I saw a few thick lipped mullet at new mills yard in norwich the other day, apparently there have been a lot about since the high tide 6 weeks back. They have came so far from great yarmouth but dont seem to be heading back any time soon. Thanks for commenting and sharing your insights.
Brilliant footage, really enjoyed watching this (and your other stuff!). Agree with comment about the importance of people knowing about what we have in our British water ways. I fish the river Avon and kennet and Avon canal in Bath-both are teaming with fish, people are often surprised when I tell them this. I think a lot of people think rivers are just dirty bits of water running through a town, but they’re really not 😊 love to see loads more films if you’re up for it! Many thanks
Brilliant video, well done. I know all the spots from New Mills Yard to the river Tas ……back in the early 70s. when I moved to Norwich from London as a kid, my school friends took me down to Earlham Park and taught me to catch fish……I was hooked (pun intended) and spent the next five years almost every weekend fishing I Remember the time very fondly. It’s great to see that the rivers around Norwich and Norfolk are healthy …….they went through a period in the 80s where many of the fish died off due to the pesticides herbicides and fungicides from the Farming leaching into the rivers. Back in the 70s their used to be huge runs of pelagic Allis shad In the river Wensum all the way up to New Milks yard. I caught a couple once ……the old boys fishing told me they were called cucumber fish due to their smell…. I once caught an 8 lbs sea trout at Newmills yard And the following week I saw a pike fisherman pull out a 25 lbs pike…. Those were the days…
It's amazing that even though you can't always see them from above water, there are lots of fish lurking. I will definitely not be complaining about my local water's 'lack of fish' now.
Excellent and informative video. I am local to these areas and am very into Birdwatching so it's nice to see other wildlife that is often right around my feet.
