Chalk streams and an Abandoned Lake! UK Wildlife Underwater

[@rob-harvey]

Thanks, your videos are brilliant!

[@AShotOfWildlife]

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!

[@Jillyjogs]

Thank you - really enjoyed that 'underwater' view. Didn't realise that so much life went on down there! Fascinating!

[@AShotOfWildlife]

Thank you. I love showing what's going on, just out of site but near so many people.

[@beebop4100]

You bring my heart joy to see the nature I was so into as a child. Thanks

[@AShotOfWildlife]

Thank you. I feel that whilst making these videos I am almost reliving my own childhood, or the best parts of it at least!

[@desperatelyseekingrealnews]

Love this stuff, can't get enough of british wildlife . Ta muchly.👏👍

[@AShotOfWildlife]

Cheers!

[@Korrieification]

I hope you get more subscribers because this is a really good, informative channel 👍

[@AShotOfWildlife]

Thank you. That's very kind.

[@Korrieification]

@@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

[@AShotOfWildlife]

@@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!

[@necymamaril3735]

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!

[@AShotOfWildlife]

Cheers. I love it too, especially when you can see things you would normally walk past without noticing them.

[@firstlast4438]

Excellent footage! That woodland lake you found looks fantastic, i hope to see it included in more videos

[@JacqJansen]

Beautiful underwater world. Thanks for this beautiful share, Jacq 🙋‍♀️🐟🐠

[@christrella3134]

That was a great look under the water at all the smaller and common fascinating fish and crayfish that many people probably never see

[@mazoomska]

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!

[@AShotOfWildlife]

Thank you. This type of footage is my favourite to film so I am glad you enjoyed it!

[@andyskelton7223]

A charming little film, very informative & looking forward to the next.

[@gingerninjawhinger9986]

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.

[@AShotOfWildlife]

Thank you. I will do my best to do more videos like this in the future - along with more of my usual content :)

[@johnsykes9623]

Thanks Liam, as usual your video was fascinating. Yes would love seeing more. Cheers 👍

[@AShotOfWildlife]

Thank you, I plan on getting out filming underwater again soon.

[@markjordan750]

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!

[@AShotOfWildlife]

Thank you Mark. I'm really glad you enjoy my videos and that they remind you of home. Cheers

Great underwater footage- good to know that river is doing well. That carp was humungous! The blue stickleback was lovely to see too.

[@ajpuzzleferret]

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

[@AShotOfWildlife]

Thanks Pamela. I'll be doing several more underwater videos soon so keep an eye out for them. Cheers

[@alanpeachey4085]

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

[@AShotOfWildlife]

That was some really great footage Liam, amazing what you can achieve with a camera, rope and a float!! Nice to see the clarity of some of our rivers also.

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.

[@louiechidwick6034]

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..........................

[@AShotOfWildlife]

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.

👍🏻 It’d be great to see more underwater creatures. This was interesting. That one along the bottom, is it like a catfish? 👍🏻

[@AShotOfWildlife]

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.

[@ThisisEngland1066]

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

[@DJ-uk5mm]

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…

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.
