- Coastal Foraging/Exploring - Scallops, Clams and Wild Edibles. - Join me for a walk along an area of coastline looking at what nature has to offer. Scallops, Cockles, Mussels, Winkles and wild edible plants are just a few of the things we find and talk about.
Don't forget to check out our sister channel @thefishlockerworkshop for our technical rig and tackle videos including some excellent "How to's..."

me, casually shoving popcorn into my mouth after watching this series for over 3 months: slipper limpets
v i r t u w u s HAHAHAHAHA!!
The truth 😂
Omg literally me
v i r t u w u s - You might be saying this as a joke but I absolutely love that!! If we have managed to share with you our love for marine life and the information has stuck then that really is wonderful. 😊💙
The Fish Locker i wasnt being sarcastic at all! i really do learn stuff watching these videos :) thanks for replying
This is one of those channels you hit the like button before you even start the video....
- I love that. :)
hahaha! totally that's funny
bikedeefer agreed!
Your sense of conservation is very admirable, well done as always :-)
Fred Mirovian - Thank you Fred. I hope that others may take a more proactive approach to their foraging/fishing from our example. 😊
I agree! If only all outdoorsmen/women were equally as knowledgeable and conscientious. 🙌🏼 quite the example, indeed.
Stef Hamblin - Hopefully people will see our example and things will change. 😊
I really like the fact that you talk about making the foraging sustainable and only taking a few mussels from each group. It really shows how much you care for nature.
- Thank you Jane, I truly hope that people follow the example we are trying to show. We have some really greedy people in our area who see no problem in taking everything they can find regardless of size. It is really upsetting. Take care and have a nice day. :)
John: There's a king cockle. See his tongue?
King Cockle: 😝
- He was just showing off. :P
Omg I wasn’t expecting that😂
5:42 he says: “I don’t like to tell you something that I’m not 100% of”. Thanks!! In the times of this covid pandemic it sure is nice to know that I can come here for some good honest content. You’re channel is great and I really enjoy the sounds as you are walking and poking around
- I hope that is one of the things that people understand when they watch our videos. It is honest and simple. Just how we like it. :)
Totally agree
I have an AP exam in a few hours and this is calming my anxiety so much
- I hope that you passed? :)
Updates?? Crossing fingers! :)
Valeria Begazo I hear back in July. I think I did pretty well, but I will have to wait and see haha. Thank you!
Went out on a quick walk this morning and didn’t have to leave the house, thx.❤️it👍
James Koch - Perfect. 😊💙
That heart medicine saved my life as a small child.
- How wonderful. Like full circle on some of the info in the video. :D
hey i just wanted to comment once. l lost my wife in november. thanksigiving morning america. and your channel has helped me greatly. when i couldn't watch anything and needed too i could watch your channel. and oh my gosh the things your wife cooks up!? delicious. just thank you for your very kind way and channel. my regards also to your wife and james.
- James I am so sorry for your loss, I know there is nothing anyone can say. Take care of yourself James and I truly hope that you enjoy the videos. Any time you're at a lost end you can give us a comment. I might not get it straight away but I will try my best to get back to you. :)
Condolences
I love how gentle you are with everything you pick up, even if it's not alive. You don't always just carelessly toss them onto the ground or ocean like they're trash or whatever.
- I am glad that you picked up on the message of our videos. It is also something that we are teaching our children. Never take more than you need and always treat the natural world with respect and appreciation. :)
Breathe IN and OUT and RELAX with The Fish Locker folks!!!
- There is always plenty to be thankful for Andy. Keep your mind positive and stay safe mate. :)
The Bob Ross of the marine life ey :D
Scallops are without a doubt my favourite seafood. I'm gettin' the munchies just thinking about'em...
Wonderful scenery, as usual. Thank you for not only showing it to us, but also educating us on what Nature has to offer.
Have a nice weekend, stay safe, and best wishes.
mor7im3r - It is our pleasure, I am glad you could join me. Take care and have a nice weekend. 😊👍🏻
I get hungry almost every vid...lol
Luckily for me I have a mobile fishmonger that sells them and I usually have half a dozen a week pan seared in smoked bacon fat. Lovely!
Simon Morris - If I cant get out again I might have to resort to that 😛
@Ejuice Vaper sorry mate. Lockdown and all that!
Beautiful and serene. Sure we're a lot of mussels. I was happy to see the cuttlefish eggs and shells and king cockel with the horns on his back. My granddaughter watch this video twice back to back today. Yes we are and hope you and your family are well.
- I do love little bits of coastline like this, you could almost forget what other drama is going on in the world couldn't you. I am glad your granddaughter enjoyed the video and hope you guys are all staying safe. :)
I just want to say that I always really enjoy your Foraging videos - they're really relaxing and very informative. I always learn something new. Thank you so much for sharing.
- It is our pleasure Tori. I am glad that you enjoy them. If you think any of your friends would enjoy the videos please send them our way. :)
For a guy like me, who`s planning a life of self sustainability on board a boat your videos are a `hands on` visual encyclopedia with commentary AND practical demonstrations on everything that`s mentioned. Absolutely invaluable! Thank you John, and the Fish Locker family team!
- I am glad that the videos are useful to you Steve. :)
King scallops wants to have a nice walk
The fish locker "not under my patrol" ^^
- Haha. Fancy a short ride in my bucket!!!
I read his reply in his accent
I love how you still point out things youve mentioned in your previous videos, I feel it helps with reminding and teaching us to remember what the things are. Love your videos very much, its like going on a adventure with you as well, especially with how the period is now. Thank you and I hope you continue to do more videos! :)
Enviable xox - I’m glad you see it that way. I just work on the principle that the viewer watching may not have see. The precious video. So each one needs to have stand alone information. 😊👍🏻🐚🌿🦀
Awe you are such a kind man! I love joining you on your beach walks. I live in the USA and nowhere near a ocean beach so your adventures are super awesome to watch! Stay well!
Cheri Doyle - Cheri it is our pleasure to be able to share our videos with you. Take care and have a loverly weekend. 😊
Cheri Doyle it must be tough to be in the central US and so far from the ocean. I know you like to laugh at our tiny island nation, but we are never further than 70 miles from the sea. I *love* the sea. We have booked a week in Cornwall for later this year, fingers crossed 🤞🏻. I’ve foraged for cockles and mussels in my time. Maybe one day you’ll get to visit Cornwall, Devon and some other areas of our beautiful country (don’t believe the hype about poor food)
julie Wallis I don’t laugh at your country.... I thinks it’s beautiful.
That was fascinating. You live in a beautiful place.
WysteriaGuitar I absolutely do! Thanks for watching 🎣🐚
Allowing us to walk with you is a privilege and a learning experience...thank you!
- We are just glad to be able to share with you all Paul. Take care. :)
I've been having kind of a rough day so I'm very relieved to see that you've uploaded. Thank you.
I’m glad it helped. Just take it all a day at a time ❤️👍🏻
We can even take things an hour at a time. That was my day today as well. I'm glad it's sleep time and video time :)
Wish you all the best
Another awesome video! Coastal foraging videos are always so oddly calming for me. I love the way that you respect the animals, too! You know so much about them.
Mayfeather Thanks very much for watching. Glad you enjoyed it 🎣🐚
The Fish Locker Thank YOU for being so awesome! :D
My daughter has had tonsillitis she’s only three it’s been horrible every night making sure she’s comfortable enough once she’s asleep and I’m comfortable next to her I put on your channel to relax I get to eat what I haven’t been able to all day! Nice hot cup of tea I can’t thank you enough it’s bliss ❤
Oh no, that must be very difficult for you both Tania. I actually had my tonsils out last year as I suffered badly with them for years. I am glad you are enjoying relaxing with us and take care. 💙
I don't really know how I ended up in this channel but I really love it , it's relaxing and educational, everything I need right now. Thank you so much!
- Welcome to our channel Aleja, I am glad that you enjoyed our video and hope you find the rest of our content peaceful viewing. May I suggest some of the other Coastal Foraging videos. ;) Best wishes and have a nice day.
John: *picks up cockle*
Cockle: *sticks out tongue*
😁😁😁
Well done. Thoroughly enjoyed this. Thank you! ☺️
Very funny lolol
Angelie Miranda - He was just showing off for the camera. :P
Another worthwhile and educative video. Guys like you are the reason television is dying on its knees, John. Good health and best to all. Cheers Allan
allan powell - I am glad you enjoyed the video Allan. I was talking with someone yesterday about the decline of terrestrial TV. I think it is just the variety and availability of CZcams and you can watch what you want directly. Not waiting for scheduled times etc.
So interesting that you added also the part on the wild edible plants :) thank you!
- I am glad that you enjoyed the additional info. I simply figured that we all seem to share the same type of interests. It interests me so it could interest you all? :)
I Love this channel, it is so relaxing and informative to watch. Also in Sweden we call The "stink bugs" Bärfis( berryfart) because you often find them in berrybushes and because well... they smell like farts 😆
Tudor90 Berry fart 😂😂 that’s the best name!
These coastal walk videos are a welcome breath of fresh air during quarantine
- I truly hope that our videos can serve as a positive distraction for people during these stressful times. Take care and have a nicely. :)
My husband has introduced me to your show. I so enjoy everything you teach. Also the love you show for all of natures amazin creations. Stay safe
Betty Bjorken - That is wonderful Betty and welcome to our channel. We are simply sharing what we know and love doing 😊🎣🦀🌿
Your videos are such a comfort to my soul. Thank you for making them and thank you for shining your light!
Lauren Lewis - Lauren it truly is our pleasure to be able to share our passions with you all. I truly hope that they help to provide a positive distraction for people during these stressful times. 😊
When we were kids we made dried hogweed into pea shooters and used hawthorn berries as peas, now there's a misspent youth... worked great!
- Haha. It sounds like mine and your childhoods were very similar. :)
@@TheFishLocker Good for your immune system mate :)
English1 - And your spirit. 😊👍🏻
All of these king cockles seem like they're trying to be eaten! So happy that you're still out and about. I can't wait to get back out to the beaches ❤
- Haha. There was a gust that blew up for a couple of days earlier in the week that stirred up a lot of the beds and will have uncovered a lot of the clams. There were a few sneaky looking seagulls in the area so I thought it best to try and cover them up. ;)
Choosing the clams over the birds 🐦 lol every thing runs through them so fast anyway.
Katie Cheshire I know, I’d have struggled to put such delicious shellfish back.
Without a doubt my favourite channel on CZcams. Your ethics and knowledge of the hydrosphere is motivation for myself to be a better steward of the land. Thank you.
- Thank you sir. I truly hope that through our videos and example, others will learn that you can forage and fish sustainably. Take care and have a great weekend. :)
Awesome video! In my younger days, I used to walk the shore also for scallops! I love clams and scallops and most seafood! I really love these coastal foraging videos! So educational and they bring back so many memories of my coastal foraging days! 👍😎
Major Carnage - It is a wonderful activity isn’t it. I really enjoy my time on the shore. 😊
I have never seen a beach so full of shells and life! Can’t find one shell at beaches near me lol. Love watching these videos ❤️
luvv.summer We get such a vast array of sea life down here. So lucky and I love sharing it for all to enjoy 🥰
luvv.summer ouch! Where do you live?
I really wish I could enjoy shellfish, I’m allergic, but my allergy only arose when I was about 11 (24 now). I still love watching, even all the way across the pond in Ohio, USA ☺️
Emily Garcia - Oh dear, that is such a shame. I enjoy quite a lot of different shellfish so that would be a real blow if it was me. Take care Emily and I hope you enjoy our videos. 😊👍🏻🐚🌿
Hey! I’m another Ohioan who’s allergic to shellfish. Mine didn’t develop until I was 31! It was quite the fright
I developed my allergy around the same age. Shortly after movie to New England a buffet of great shellfish. I would do almost anything to eat it again.
You can always get an epi pen🤣
I'll eat a scallop in your honor.
No but seriously oof I'm so sorry :(
Fantastic !!!!!! Thank you. One to keep as an example for children and grandchildren. Beats computer games every time
David Davenport couldn’t agree more David! Stay safe 🎣👍🏻
Thank you again. Very soothing after a stressful day. Thank you John!
Twyla Johnson - It is our pleasure Twyla. Take care and have a lovely day. 😊
Yes, your shore walks are helping a lot, Thank you. Keep them coming (:
Vintage Dreams - I am very glad to hear that. Take care and stay safe. 😊
@@TheFishLocker you too, take care 😊💙
I hope I can put all this knowledge you've given me to use someday.. sadly I'm in a landlocked city. One can dream though!
- You never know where the future may take you Roxy. One day you may find yourself by the sea, and now you have a head start. ;)
What a fantastic video! Exactly like watching a wildlife program on the telly!
- Thank you and welcome to our channel. If you enjoyed this video then we have a few more that I think you will really enjoy. Especially some of the recent ones with the underwater footage 😊
WOW! King Cockles are beautiful creatures! I love these little marine biology lessons, it was my favorite subject in school! I live 20 minutes from Mobile Bay in the US, so we’d go out for research all the time and it was an absolute blast!
- They are impressive guys aren't they. I am glad that you enjoy joining me on our walks. Take care. :)
Another fantastic video John and half an hour well spent watching it. That 'Knot Weed' was well established around the St Austell area by the mid 60s. As kids we would play in among it on the old China Clay pits. The local kids called it 'Pop Sticks' or 'Granny's Rhubarb' we'd snap off the young shoots 'Pop' and chew it, but the novelty wore off pretty quick as it wasn't that nice. Thanks again for sharing your walks, everyday is a school day and I always learn some new from your videos. Take care mate . Rich. 👍🐟🐚🌿😊🌾
- Now then Ric, how you doing mate? Its my pleasure to be able to share these walks with you all. Take care and give our best to the family. :)
Both your channel and smash fishing are the best two foraging channels on CZcams, I've been foraging for a few years, but the amount I've learned from both you guy's is amazing, and I'm passing it on, my kid's have started watching yer channels in the past few weeks, and are now watching the tide times and wanting to get out and forage, thanks for sharing your knowledge, 🤙😁
- Our aim and goal has always been about the sharing of knowledge and trying to encourage people to take an interest in the natural world around them. Sadly some channels, being a "CZcamsr" and the views are more important. I am glad you and your kids are getting out and enjoying things. :D
Your videos are so awesome and I hope you and your family are doing really well with these hard times.please be safe out there.
sweetpotatoes4 roblox - Thank you very much. Take care and stay safe. 😊🐚🌿
You could easily make yourself a marine biologists for tide marine life.
Lord Fabulous - I could pursue it but we have enough going on at the minute. We are happy just enjoying our passion. 😊👍🏻🌿🐚
@@TheFishLocker well, ya know. That's what's important. As long as you're happy. :)
I wonder how they deal with that japanese plant in Japan regarding building.
Also, thank you for these videos, they are very informative and relaxing to watch, I must have seen 20 of these and enjoy them always!
Kind regards from Skopje, North Macedonia
Art Mehmeti - I am not sure how they deal with the issue? That’s a good question. 🤔
@@TheFishLocker Different way of building in Japan. I don't think they sink the foundations in the way we do here.
foamcow - I wonder which is the better method?
Japan has the bacteria, fungi and insects that destroy this weed or stunt its growth so it is not a problem. UK does not have the same microbes to do the job and it is unknown if introducing them will create even bigger problems than this weed. (An example of an insect, native to Japan, is Aphalara itadori which feeds exclusively on the weed's sap, causing the leaves to become deformed and root to dry out. There is currently a trial in Swansea to test if this imported insect will survive and control the weed.)
In the UK the Japanese knotweed is repeatedly treated with herbicides to kill the roots, when the plant dies back every winter and covering to choke out sunlight and water for when the shoots emerge in spring, or the ground is excavated to hopefully remove all the root. But it is not a guarantee as a small amount of root can get established again.
Another option is to let certain types of pigs forage on it. The pigs if left without enough food will dig over a 1m into the ground to eat all the roots down there. Repeated treatment with starving pigs will get rid of all the roots, that the plant needs to shoot up so quickly in spring. (There are some references of English farmers using the knotweed as pig fodder over a century ago.)
In regards, to buildings the principal danger are earthquakes in Japan, some 1500 a year. Knotweed is hardly a concern. If it is a small problem in urban areas it can be sprayed.
My friend, i love the walkabout and the spring flowers and sounds. Thanks for the wonderful share of the wildflowers and bird calls,
I miss that so much
Joseph Sienkiewicz - It is our pleasure Joseph, I am glad that you could join me on my coastal walk. 😊👍🏻🐚🌿
Thanks so much again fish locker i was having a crap day watching your video has given me a big lift. Nice walk and foraging really looking forward to the next one 😀👍
Nigel Barrett - Nigel I am so glad that our videos are able to do that for you. 😊💙
You have done more appreciation for Cornwall than the official Tourist Board has in 20 Years.
Mr Envious.😀😀
- Should I be looking for some commission?
cheers bud. im just getting my full fillet of skinless haddock ready to cover in light mayo and sesion with lemon dust then in the oven ..on grease prof . magic
Basingstoke Dave - Haha. Enjoy. 😉👍🏻
Another fabulous video. Hope you and the family are doing well and staying safe. Thank you! :)
Teresa Truman Thanks Teresa. We are thank you. Take care 🦀 🐚
Another excellent and relaxing video to enjoy at home. It's been extra cold and rainy here on the East Coast the past few days, so under those conditions there's nothing better than curling up with a warm cup of coffee and enjoying a bit of soothing Fish Locker.
KAKADOUJACK - Sounds like you’ve got the right idea Jack. 😉
@@TheFishLocker One quick observation from this video: Just as you said, Hogweed isn't necessarily "poisonous" to eat, but something to certainly look out for is that the plant's sap, if gotten on the skin, makes the skin EXTREMELY sensitive to sunlight and heat, and this can cause some truly nasty burns and blisters with even brief exposure to direct light. Interestingly, lime juice can have the same effect under bright sunlight, a condition funnily called "margarita hand."
As for the shark/ray/skate eggs, how can you tell which cast belongs to which species? I can't tell the difference to save my life haha
KAKADOUJACK - I think there is some confusion with Hogsweed and Giant hogsweed. Because as kids we would cut them down and literally break them over each other’s heads and have sword fights with them - without any burns etc. As for the eggs. It’s size and shape that shows identifies the different species 😉
@@TheFishLocker Ah yes, upon a little research you are certainly correct. In my area Giant Hogweed is the only variety, and therefore it's often simply referred to as hogweed. My mistake!
More botanical info John, introducing us to more of your expansive knowledge!! Your definitely not resting on your laurels.
The king cockles are not a feature on my local beaches, they look humongous compared to the common variety & one can only speculate how old that native oyster must have been also that wren's nest, how camouflaged was that!! well spotted, great vid as usual John!
- Thanks Paul, the king cockles are really meaty as well. You'll have to try them when you come down. I do enjoy finding wrens nest, long tailed tits are similar but made completely from moss. So cool. Take care mate. :D
I never get fed up when foraging - Stay Safe
Flat Broke Frank - Thanks Frank. Take care my friend. 👍🏻😊🐚🌿
I started watching this channel because it was just good vibes and fishing. However I always learn something new from you! Thanks for such good information and good videos!
DeeJea Smith - It is our pleasure sir. Take care, tight lines and have a great day. 😊👍🏻
yes your videos are a fantastic uplift during this pandemic. thank you very much.
It is our pleasure Joseph, best wishes and have a lovely day. 😊
Good evening John,let's just say that l couldn't belive my eyes 😲well done on finding that wren,s nest,you really have got to know what your looking for.Like you say anyone could walk past that nest and have no idea,but saying that lm 99 per cent lve seen them when walking the dogs,lm almost sure...how exciting.As for them king scallops,what stars eh...They are on Nick Parc,s animation,check it out its brilliant and the children will love watching to.Thankyou so much for sharing,all the very best 🌱🌱🌱💕Do you know much about bugs,would be interesting,however l really don't do spiders ahhhhh no no.
- Haha. Ive been doing this type of thing all my life Joyce. As you say, half the trick is knowing what you're looking for and where to look. I know a fair bit about most of the species in the UK, but not sure how I would incorporate it into the videos. Take care Joyce and give our love to the family :)
I love watching this haha. And I love doing this when the fish aren't biting. Yesterday we found the biggest crab we ever found on shore, it was in a big pvc pipe and we will be checking that pipe more often :D (The crab was only as big as my hand though, don't think we could have eaten it hahaha.)
- Its amazing what you can find when you look isn't it. ;)
@@TheFishLocker Hey I wonder, do you ever go fishing in places like Norway? :P
Damien - We has planned to go to Norway this year. We will see how that pans out.
@@TheFishLocker That's awesome! Where abouts? I can definitly give some reccomendations haha.
Damien - All over. I’ve had invites to a few spots.
Cockle: *leaves hole and moves away*
John: *picks it up, puts it back and covers it*
😆
I shall decide where you live Mr Cockle.
Thank you for yet another nice walk,that kind of walk I loved to do back in times when I two good legs ( have a neurological disorder that keeps me from long walks) and now you do the walking for me in beautiful Cornwall 🙏🏼❤️🙋🏼
Anki Olebring Thanks Anki. I’m glad we can provide you with some relief and entertainment ❤️🎣
Is there a certain time the cuttlefish shells are more commonly found? I remember coming across 100s and 100s once on the beach after a fishing comp. My mate that keeps birds was over the moon
- They creed at certain times and like with many things once they've bred they die off. So you do often see masses of the cuttlebones at the same time.
Japanese knotweed is edible raw when they're just sprouting out from the ground. Some say it has somewhat a rhubarb taste. No idea when it's fully grown though, it may be edible but bitter and fibrous.
Damonack - You’d like to think if it was nice that people would be encouraged to eat it?
@@TheFishLocker Hi there! It is an un-common idea to harvest those on the regular for sustenance.. then again, it is an uncommon plant as it has been imported to europe not that long ago. Looking in a recent wild edibles book, it seems to say that it's a common edible wild vegetable in asia. The young shoots are nice to eat as they are, but bitter. There's quite an odd cooking advice : peel the skin off the main stem, chop the stem into inch-long tubes, then boil it in water for a minute a bit like pasta (but it won't be soft like pasta). After a search on wiki (Reynoutria japonica), it's a source of nectar for bees, but the quick-growing plant overshadows native plants where it is considered invasive, and they're usually pickled in Asia. I'm no expert on the topic, but my guess is that it is at least safe to eat those, and harvest could be beneficial for native flora.
Similar for Three Cornered Leak. It tastes great, but it’s an introduced garden plant that has escaped and is pushing out native bluebells. If it had the same gourmet status as wild garlic we would eat it more and help protect bluebells.
Another great video. Keep these coming. Love you and your family from Houston, TX USA. God Bless !!
Michael Romer - Thank you Michael. Take care and god bless. 😊
Super video thank you for sharing and wishing you and your family good fortune and the best of health cheers Al
Alan Woolley - Thank you Alan, as always mate it is our pleasure. Best wishes to you and the family and have a great weekend. 😊👍🏻
19:12 I keep giant African land snails, and they always have one of these in their terrarium. Helps their shells grow nice and big.
Edit: Were the beautiful bluebells around 24:40 "Hyacinthoides non-scripta"? I've also seen them around where I live.
- Yes that is the same species that we have here. Lovely aren't they.
Who even dislikes these videos? Must be pure jealousy that they arent able to catch their own seafood
- We do have a few people who subscribe to the channel just to dislike the videos. They are jealous rival channel owners mainly. Sad and petty. Pay them no notice Mikaela - we don't. ;)
We just don't like pikies.
Pffft what a dumb insult get outta here darknut
darknut - So it’s one of two things then. You’re either telling me you’re ignorant to what a Pikie actually is, or you’re a racist? 🤔
Hmmmm. I didn't know nationality was a skin color but ok then.
I love these videos! Especially during these times. It’s so refreshing! I live 12 hours away from the nearest coast line.
Thank you for these videos!
Lauren P - Thank you Lauren, I am glad that you are enjoying our content. Best wishes to you and your family and have a great day. 😊
Thank you for the beautiful walk.
Sue Smith Thanks Sue. Glad you enjoyed it 🎣🐚
0:48 made me cringe
Tom Fox - Tough hands. 😉
In Dorset there is a pub that has stinging nettle eating competitions where people eat the leaves
@@emmapark8530 In Cornwall they make an incredibly tasty firm cheese known as Nettle Yarg. The cheese is matured and sold dressed completely in nettle leaves. Expensive but well worth the money, much tastier than the French Compte.
Oh yes I've heard and seen Cornish yarg pale in colour the cheese it's self but where I work they serve it with Somerset brie and of course were I live blue vinney cheeses
these videos are so therapeutic and informative. I watch these in my bed in seoul korea and I'm lucky I get to see nature vicariously through this channel. awesome stuff, never stop making these!
- I am glad that we can provide for you some calming content. Take care and stay safe. :)
Hi John another very informative video which many children could get a lot of useful tips from, i love the way you take care of everything and as soon as you put your latest video on i am on to watching it but then sit waiting for the next hope the family are ok stay safe stay well from Manchester UK.
fred dimble - We are starting to build on all of the playlists so hopefully if you watch a video and get the feeling of wanting more there are others there of the same genre. If we could we would do a vid every day but it’s just not possible. 🤷🏻♂️
This is one of my favorite channels. You have such a calm comforting voice which pairs so well with your content. My kids also adore watching you, were all learning so much. Thank you for such amazing content. Also your thumbnail for this video is absolutely stunning! I'd get it framed for my home. Hope you & your family are staying safe & healthy.
- Thank you so much, I am very pleased hear that. I am so glad that your whole family enjoys your content and finds it informative. I do enjoy taking pictures. I might not make a good one but I can take a good one ;)
I've enjoyed the flowers and birds as much as I do the marine life 😁
We love it all. 😊💙
Watching your videos relax me for some reason. Love ur content.
Jonny C. A lot of people say that. I think a bit of relaxation is essential right now! Thanks for watching 🐚🐚
wonderful as always John.... lovely walk. so informative too... have a great weekend and week ahead.

Joe Scardino Thanks Joe. I’m glad you were able to come along with us 🎣
Gorgeous country and water... thanks for posting.
- It is our pleasure. I am glad you enjoyed the video. :)
I'm beyond envious of flowers and green things whilst it snows as I type this. Frigging Eden over there.
biffyburton - Haha. We haven’t had a good snow in 2 years here I think.
@@TheFishLocker haha you lot are fortunate then. Don't feel like your missing out on 3+ feet of snow for the most of 7 months of the year. I mean it's pretty to look at but being able to lay hedges and grow plants year round just about sounds pretty good to me lol
John ,thanks for that video,as always very informative. Always wait for your videos with anticipation.You and your family stay safe.
Aidie Holland Thanks Aidie. We are doing what we can during these times. Stay safe 👍🏻 🎣
Thanks for the videos mate. I've separated, isolated, lost my kids. You make me feel distracted and out with you on your videos. Thanks sincerly.
Glen L - Glen I am sorry that the world has been hard on you and I am very glad that our videos can help to bring you some positive distraction. Take care and keep your chin up. Things are never really as bad as they may seem. 😊
Thanks for the walk. Wonderful to get out with you.

So much information !!! I had no idea about the shells for parakeets! I just thought they were man made. I just love your vlogs! I'm older than the hills and I didn't know any of this! Thank You!!
