Spotting Rare Animals on the English Canals

This week I did a couple of cruisers solo and on my journey, I saw a wild mink and a white owl. Love the wildlife!

I haven’t checked in with you guys in quite a while. thanks for a lovely vlog and peaceful cruise!❤

[@JoeMakes]

So glad winter is over! I'll meet you guys at the next pub soon!

We really felt for you hunting for internet. It can be so hit and miss! Nothing more exciting than spotting a new animal on the canals! We’ve never seen a mink or owl, but did have an otter swim by once when we were super stressed 🥰

[@CruisingAlba]

I love seeing otters, they are also rare, we saw them twice. One of them used our paddle board as a table a few times and left us the remains of his dinner - crayfish claws 😂

Lovely vlog, thank you Marina, loved the news about the animal sightings. Maybe it was an otter not a mink. Take care and Happy Easter. xxxx

Please report mink sightings to the Water Life Recovery Trust - as you mention, they are a non-native, invasive species.

[@CruisingAlba]

Thanks for the heads up, I reported it.

Lovely single handed trip. I remember when you started, I'll bet you couldn't have imagined doing a trip like that by yourself. Well done. Question: Have you (or Miles) ever slipped off the narrow boarding plank?

[@FlashGormless]

Hi Marina, Minks didn't escape they were set free by animal rights activists in the 70's who didn't think of the consequences, and now they are killing our native wildlife. They created a wildlife catastrophe. Great vlog as always :)

[@mattgoodchild8215]

Well said 👍🏼

[@assiebruins2545]
