This was such a magical time at Ferrymoor when the 3 Swans , Ebony & Ivory or ( Snowy & Ollie ) where all there enjoying themselves on the pond . I loved going to see, feed them , videoing their lives day by day , I couldn’t stay away from there everyday I wanted to go and visit the flash , as Tony says in his brilliant video # you never know what’s going to happen # Now as I’m writing this it’s middle of October the weather has turned cold and we have no Swans or Ebony & Ivory 🥲! I still go down but the pond is not the same now ! Just geese , ducks , a couple of Greebe and that’s it nothing more ! Such a tragedy that the young cygnets that were born plus Stan & Cilla together with Snowy & Ollie have all gone and possibly never to return. What a shame they didn’t get to chance to enjoy the lives that were lost 😞 x H

Just watching this, lovely to see old work mates getting together at Christmas. Keep it going❤

Bloody disgusting that we have lost our coal mining industry we lost much more than just jobs

The Labour party sold it's soul a long time ago they have become tree hugging woke looney tunes

Labour closed far more pits than the Tories. Some people need to get real.

I lived through the pit strikes of 84 and as hard on our community as it was, it was in much better times than the sh*thole country we live in now. God bless you Pete!

Everything is now shit and governments and unions ruined this country for for my generation, started in 1970s when I were a kid you cunts.

Be no fish left soon then

Salt of the earth 👍

Hey watching your KZbin video just after I met you I subscribed too 🎉 I love ❤ the nature you taught me thank you from me Thor and the rest of my family !!!!!!!!🦆🐣🐤🐥

In terms of working class communities, Thatcher and her government showed an unacceptable face of capitalism. The tories have pursued a hardline path ever since.

Lovely video ❤

Sergeant Hakeswill! How I loathed that character

Pete was denied an Oscar AND a knighthood both of which I think was despicable. But in my world he will always be 'SIR Peter Postlethwaite'! Miss ya mate.

Brings back many happy memories of fishing off the harbour wall and from those great little cobles of Flamborough Head in the 1960s . Happy Days . Most of the fish landed then seemed to be Skate . I have been trying to remember the local fish merchant whose trucks were always on the harbour loading up .

Very well done video.❤

An excellent documentary. Looks like you had some early mornings by the sunrise. I take it this was a commission.

Thank You

BRILLIANT ACTOR BRILLIANT FILM, has to be M favorite film of ALL Time and my goodness there have been some good films but this one captured the people of the time and one mans desire to keep his people his mine his town on the map great spirit just a bloody awesome film

Sad!

Just sat down and watched this on the TV. Wow great captures, I saw the Swan courtship and mating but did not have my video camera with me at the time. Curious as to what bird was making that whistling sound. I managed to get a few clips of the new families this morning. Not many days missed I wish we were nearer to make a regular visit. Looking forward to March and April.

Another fantastic video. What a perfect alternative to that Saturday night rubbish on TV. Looking forward to the next episode.

Long live the Iron Lady! Pip Pip Hooray Bob’s your uncle

Woter shithole !!

Wota fookin shithole !! You'll not get thee down fookin pit !!

One of our most underrated actors. He deserved more than one win!

Another fantastic video

Proper blokes, I salute you all 💪🏼

Oh Tony you have once again got a wonderful video of the Swans at Ferrymoor Flash perfectly captured, it’s so good to watch what goes on down there each and every day pal ! I was Dow yesterday doing some work with the TCV Team and I did notice Stan & Cilla go on to the island and started to ( I think ) make presentations for a nest to be created x These Videos you do for us all to enjoy are exquisite Tony! Thank you so much for sharing this video ❤️. Well done Mr Devoy . H

😢probably one greatest actors almost forgotten, 😢 A gentleman. Respect, honesty. morals. Unfortunately missing today in BRITAINS

Good Riddance to the wicked witch

What a fantastic video. Wonderful footage of the mink and birds, accompanied by an interesting commentary. We loved it.

Shame on you, that woman was the salvation of GB, turn from the communist and socialist land that she encountered to a Great Britain were all should work and not be mantained by the state or the people of G Britain. God blessed her

“Rest in hell with jimmy savile” lol

I miss all the characters you played Pete. But yeah, the tenor horn was a tad soft.

Well done Yorkshire

I remember the day I heard the news. Thatcher had popped her clogs, l raised a class of milk to celebrate her passing, and laughed when the song ding done the witch is dead, from the film The Wizard of oz played on the radio.

Drop kicks too stupid to see change had to happen......

Good people deserved better but at the bottom of the food chain you are just given scraps god bless to these people

Cannot forgive Thatcherism for this This is a huge stain on her

Its IRONIC that the iron WITCH is now in a fiery pit ...😮🌅🌄🌅🌄♨️♨️♨️🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Could I make the suggestion that Scargill and the opportunist unions led their members down a rabbit hole all those years ago and are as much to be attributed blame as the Thatcher government?, or am I merely throwing a piece of meat into a lion's den?

Look at those that criticise her. Her commentary on socialism was spot on. The more you depend on the state, the more power they will have to take it away. She came from a hard working family and all she asked was that people pull their finger out and work hard. Well, you only have to watch this to understand the ilk that hated her, ‘the handout crowd’!

Great video thanks for this and Happy New Year to you and to all working people throughout the world.

Well done Tony x great video pal x enjoyed watching it 👌

Another excellent video that has come across as a moving documentary.

Once Again Mr Tony Devoy has produced a Video of life on Ferrymoor Flash for us all to witness Little SIDS inaugural flight 🦢👏 albeit a few hundred yards he’s got the inspiration from his Mam Cilia just how to do it x I applaud you Tony for the dedication and effort you go to Pal to film these amazing events that none of us would be able to see without you’re expertise in 🎥 filming x Thank you T for a most beautiful and entertaining video !
