Hi from hull UK, just subbed,
Thanks for the video. Very interesting.
This was really useful! Thanks so much!
Thank you
Thanks so much for this 💚
Thank you.
Great video, Sue. It takes me back to last year seeing the beavers there for the first time in my life. You have given me a fascination for these amazing animals x
🏆Excellent.
Thank you
Brill.
Thank you.
Getting into bushcraft/ survival, great info. Thanks.
Thank you!
this is excellent. well done. people pay money for a course like this haha.
Thank you! Glad you found it useful!
useful information۔۔۔thankyou
Many thanks!
Please don't show this .I'm a country person.i know we're mine are please stop showing what to look for . badger baters

This is so helpful!!!
Glad it was helpful!
Interesting video. Does bother me that the yellow rattle was stolen. So many people feel entitled to take whatever they like from farmers fields, be it soil, berries, seeds etc. Doesn't seem right to me.
Only the seed was taken...this is a very acceptable way to spread wild flowers. They did not dig up any plants to my knowledge..
Thank you everyone for your kind comments!
Thank you, this was very informative!
I believe the Hawthorne you show is the common Hawthorne the young leaf berries and flowers are edible known as the bread and cheese tree for the flavour it ads to a cheese sandwich
Yes they are delicious.
Very helpful, thank you
Glad to hear it!
So useful! So many things that I hadn't noticed before, really helpful thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
Smashing video, obviously a subject that could be very extensive.
Thank you.
really good video thanks very nuch
Thank you.
😊🌳
Fantastic. Would have been nice to have included their Latin names too though 😊
This is what I've come up with. Some are bound to be incorrect while others are hard to miss. Which is the reason Latin names are used to avoid these errors. Alnus glutinosa 'Common Alder' Populus tremula 'Aspen' Prunus spinosa 'Blackthorn' Prunus avium 'Sweet Cherry' Prunus cerasus 'Sour Cherry' Cornus sanguinea 'European Dogwood' Corylus avellana 'Hazel' Ilex aquifolium 'Holly' Carpinus betulus 'Hornbeam' Platanus × acerifolia 'London Plane' Acer platanoides 'Norway Maple' Betula pendula 'Silver Birch' Euonymus europaeus 'Spindle' Castanea sativa 'Sweet Chestnut' Acer pseudoplatanus 'Sycamore' Viburnum lantana 'Wayfaring Tree' Ulmus glabra 'Wych Elm'
Thanks for the feedback.
just plan a fishing trip and theyll find you 😂 i can prove it too - czcams.com/users/shortsThJXOmHS8I0?si=DdkNI85GYgdvwPwq
Excellent video. Very useful. Thank you, Sue.
Thank you!
I loved the video. i looked at it as much as i could for many time. but i have to see more trees to learn. can i ask you to compare the trees by their leaves and/or any part you can put in a ground and explain them. I really would love to see that. And I appreciate if you give a bit more details about the trees. I am not just stopped to learn UK trees. if you go for more exotic trees that is even better. thanks
This was just a basic Tree ID video for UK watchers. I am not sure I know much about exotic trees.
Thanks, great video. I'm looking for signs of Otters here in Sheffield
any look finding any .looking myself round Wakefield
@@dezscott46not yet. I'm checking for spraints around canals and rivers and think I found some out in a Peak District. No sightings tho
@@aminadrury1415 good luck with that
Nice video Sue. Thankyou
Informative video, thank you. Last couple of weeks, I've found a lot of otter sprainting spots on a long stretch of brook in the north western peak district feeding totally on signal crayfish. Looks like they've munched through all their resources of crayfish as very limited fish in this little stream. I'm guessing they have swam back down this secluded tributary stream back into the main river.
😓 *Promo SM*
Best tree I.D video i have seen. Thank you.
Thank you. I am glad you found it useful.
Can you please tell me the names of the wild flowers
All of them? There are a lot... if you are interested in learning botany we have a Beginners Botany course you can do online - ecologytraining.co.uk/course/beginners-botany-course/
Don't pick up crap without gloves.!
As long as you keep your hands away from your face and wash them before eating you will be fine. The skin is an amazing barrier to germs.
Very interesting...and brave sniffing
Nice coverage of ghb flighline.. I'm not used to horshoes but we've recently discovered Lesser horshoes here on Isle of Man not sure how much different their feeding ecology is.. many thanks for sharing... Adam Denard - Ecologist - Manx Wildlife Trust
Im looking to start a second career and I find ecology facinating. Trouble is its nothing like my current career. How realistic would it be? How long would it take?
Yes that is totally possible. We have many options for career changers. Take a look at our website www.ecologytraining.co.uk and if you have any specific question then please contact me on admin@ecologytraining.co.uk. I was once a nurse and midwife!
The otters of Otterton are fuming.
Yep, go if you can... it's an amazing sight and the owners are very helpful. I took hundreds of photos and still stopped to watch them in all their splendour... it was amazing!
What is a meadow?
It is a field full of wild flowers.
How safe is it for ponies to graze that type of pasture ?
I'm not even remotely an expert in pony feeding behaviour, but it should be safe. The main poisonous plants I saw were hogweed and ragwort. As far as I know, horses instinctively know not to eat poisonous plants because of the smell or bitter taste. You don't hear of wild horses dropping dead after all. Poisonings tend to occur in fields that are overgrazed, leaving no alternative to the starving horses. Give your horses enough forage and they will do the rest for you. This comment doesn't consider harvesting the field for hay. Drying for hay makes poisonous plants palatable, though horses have to eat a large amount of poisonous hay to fall ill.
Learnt something new today. Going to go badger hunting tomorrow as seen some dotted around my local area.
Great video, I have recently landed myself some training in bat surveying and I am loving it!
Would have liked more information on just how many surveys and references we need to have completed before we should apply for the licence and realistically get it.
Great vid
Thank you for the video. We have badgers occasionally digging holes underneath our hall. We know there's a sett nearby as it's mentioned in a conservation report, but they avoid naming the location to preserve it.
Thanks, I have just moved to a rural house and I think my sets are smaller so probably not badgers.
I don't think I would worry too much about the rattle getting out of hand. We introduced it to one area in 2015 (just 10grams of seed planted in two small patches) and it spread quite quickly over about 1/2 an acre at a high density. However, it has subsequently become significantly less dense on that plot over the last two years while being still quite dense on a plot seeded in 2017. I suspect that as the rattle weakens the shallow-rooted rye-grass it thins out itself (I was given to expect as much by Emorsgate who supplied the seed originally)
I wouldn't be surprised if the success of the yellow rattle is a function of the vigor of the grasses in the meadow. Take away too much rattle, and the grasses will just fill the gap, rather than more flowers.
@@MUSTASCH1O Yes indeed. I think one has to keep the rattle going or, as you say the grass is going to come back full strength. We now have several meadow areas and if the rattle gets thin on one we usually have lots on another. I move the arisings from area to area and rake them around to bring rattle seeds from one to the other. Hopefully the areas won't all run low on rattle in the same year.
Brilliant video, I have been trying to get advice on managing our land for the benefit of the wildlife and nature and it is so difficult as a novice. We have 25 acres including a small wood, we would like to use it for the benefit of nature but not really sure how. We are located near the Malvern hills in Worcestershire if you can offer any tips we would be delighted to hear them. Your land looked beautiful and some day hope ours will too. Michael
We bought a smallholding on the edge of the Peak District about 23 years ago and the advice from the Derbyshire Wildlife Trust was basically to do as little as possible! We have to a great extent stuck with that and we are now seeing the benefits. Like David, we introduced Yellow Rattle to one field in order to generate a flower-rich meadow but have resisted doing so more widely. Much of the land is a vole heaven which is perhaps why we have barn owls, tawny owls, kestrels and visiting buzzards and sparrow-hawks. Interestingly, we now have orchids in profusion though we can't really ascribe that to any given management scheme as they appear everywhere from the areas we never cut to the lawn that is cut as often as Derbyshire weather allows. Good luck!
Really interesting, thanks for sharing. I'm new to badger watching so it's very useful to me.
