Creatures of the canal towpaths - Foxes, Badgers, Otters, Owls...

[@anitablades6033]

We would enjoy any and all videos of the kitty's. We love seeing them !!!!

[@NarrowboatJourneys]

One day... it seems that whenever I think of making such a video they disappear somewhere. ;-)

[@pilpelet100]

You’re welcome 😊

[@RobertSmith-zv1xo]

Nice format: introduction and clips with naration. Great seeing those animals you rarely see.

[@StormwatchDruid]

Lovely to see the Otters.

[@NarrowboatJourneys]

It was great to see them. I hope the fishermen do not shoot them.

[@markorrell2466]

[@Chalkbalone]

[@NarrowboatJourneys]

Thanks 👍

[@tonycarter3756]

I have a wildlife cam which l set around the farm .Lots of foxes rabbits a barn owl and the farm cat😊Thanks Phil .

[@NarrowboatJourneys]

Thank you. It's surprising what's out there at night.

[@christinegibbins6105]

Many thanks Phil, that was a lovely set of videos. I think foxes are the most beautiful animals, but, yes a but I feel so sad when they kill my hens for no reason!!! Take care.

[@NarrowboatJourneys]

Thank you. When I was a kid our big brown hen nested and laid eggs in the garden hedge. One day before the eggs were due to hatch a fox got her. Our other brown hen was more successful.

[@lionelmarytravels6003]

It's amazing what's around after dark. Those little cameras are very good for showing passers by

[@jimsoltner8978]

Been watching your videos for a while now. Love the new content! Cheers from South Jersey.

[@NarrowboatJourneys]

Thank you, glad you like them.

[@jacquelineryde7339]

How lovely to see the wildlife and the puddy cats too ❤❤

[@sallymander7863]

Lovely to see so many foxes, I live in a rural area and hardly ever see then. My nephew lives in Greenwich and sees them all the time. 😮. The spider put on a good performance. 👍🏻😊

[@barbaraerbe3926]

It's very enjoyable to see what shows at night on your camera. Thanks for sharing.

[@NarrowboatJourneys]

Thanks for watching

[@susanmarker2164]

So interesting..I loved the wildlife down on the river where I lived for about 30 yrs..many of the very same creatures... I fed so many critters there .. even spiders! 😂 the big fat garden variety..I'd bring them in before winter watch them build a nice web usually in my kitchen window and fed them bugs . they never lived long it was just the nature ..they always pass on once they've laid a nice sac of little ones..I waited until after. how are your aquariums doing? Haven't seen any news for a good while.. Enjoyed the critters..Thanks..I do like most buggy creatures too..😅

[@NarrowboatJourneys]

Thank you. I like spiders too. The aquariums are fine and the canal fish are growing fast. They'll have to be released soon...

[@davidsedlickas8222]

Superb filming and commentaries Phil. Well done really really interesting to watch. Thanks very much. Hope you are well. Safe journey travels.

[@NarrowboatJourneys]

Many thanks

[@bruceshaw2402]

I've noticed in other wildlife night shots on the Internet that the animals tend to stare directly at the camera as if they can see it , it has been put forward that perhaps they can see the infrared light which of course humans can't.

[@NarrowboatJourneys]

I don't know but it probably depends on which IR LEDs are used? Humans can see 850Nm as a dull red glow when looking directly at the LEDs, but we can't see 940Nm.

[@nbflyingfox4672]

Great vlog Phil. Never gave it a thought of how much activity there is when one falls asleep on the cut at night. Excellent vlog to prove it.. keep safe pal..😮😊

[@NarrowboatJourneys]

Thanks 👍

[@JCDiamond]

It's so much fun to see the critters (and the cats!). We don't have otters here - but we do have mink!

[@NarrowboatJourneys]

Our mink are American mink. Animal activists raided mink farms years ago and released them into the wild.

[@mazzer51QS]

Thanks for that I often wonder what’s on the tow path at night we’ve only seen a fox once on the high peak canal . I have 2 cameras at home I put out at night and it’s the highlight of the day to look each morning and see which foxes came into our garden , just love it , thanks so much for showing us .

[@NarrowboatJourneys]

Thank you for watching.

[@philipwilkin1975]

'I'll finish off this set with a Badger.' was that pun intended?

[@NarrowboatJourneys]

Absolutely! 😉

[@Annie-cb]

Fascinating. Thanks so much for doing these compilations, Phil 👍

[@NarrowboatJourneys]

Thank you, glad you like them.

[@lesleym6952]

What a fantastic vlog - I love to watch all the varied wildlife but I do love an otter🦦 🥰 And I saw what you did there ‘I’ll finish off this set with a badger’ 😂

[@NarrowboatJourneys]

Thank you Lesley.

[@anfieldroadlayoutintheloft5204]

good vid on the channel keep up the good vids thanks lee

[@NarrowboatJourneys]

Thanks 👍

[@rayjaypaulsen]

Thank you Phil for the nature animals. How big are the spiders? The camera lens it looks big! On Long Island, New York the spiders are about 1 inch and the web is between 3- 6 feet in size! Usually if end up walking into it I'll yell and the shirt comes flying off and shake off my head. I'm 6 foot 5 inches tall and don't like any spiders 🤣. Enjoy your weekend Phil😃

[@NarrowboatJourneys]

These spiders are very small and harmless. They just look huge be when they're right up close to the lens.

[@Nif339]

What was the other animal about 12 feet from the fox at 2 minutes 40 seconds?

[@NarrowboatJourneys]

A bit of grass waving around in the wind I think.
