Chalk streams and an Abandoned Lake! UK Wildlife Underwater
Вставка
- Опубліковано 29 чер 2024
- Take a look at some of the wildlife that lives in the shallow waters of the UK's rivers, streams and lakes, and learn a bit about them whilst you do. In this video I show some of my favourite bits of underwater filming from the east of England in 2022 including freshwater fish and some invasive crayfish.

Thanks, your videos are brilliant!
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!
Beautiful underwater world.
Thanks for this beautiful share,
Jacq 🙋♀️🐟🐠
Cheers!
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!
Cheers. I love it too, especially when you can see things you would normally walk past without noticing them.
Excellent footage! That woodland lake you found looks fantastic, i hope to see it included in more videos
I hope you get more subscribers because this is a really good, informative channel 👍
Thank you. That's very kind.
@@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
@@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!
Thank you - really enjoyed that 'underwater' view. Didn't realise that so much life went on down there! Fascinating!
Thank you. I love showing what's going on, just out of site but near so many people.
Beautiful. What an eye-opener. I have a new respect for rivers and streams and their inhabitants
Brilliant, cheers!
Fantastic video,, more please,, 🐟🐠🦈
Thanks! I will keep them coming!
Brilliant video I do a bit of fishing so to see the fish in there natural habitats was fantastic keep up your brilliant videos Bernard
That was a great look under the water at all the smaller and common fascinating fish and crayfish that many people probably never see
I adored this, I learnt so much. I think underwater footage freshwater fish is a really calming and beautiful thing to watch x
Thank you, I am glad you enjoyed it!
I couldn't believe there were so many fish in these waterways. Amazing (the minnows loved the camera).
Its great isnt is, I especially love how there were so many fish in the really industrial area, hidden from view just going about their lives.
Love this stuff, can't get enough of british wildlife . Ta muchly.👏👍
Cheers!
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.
Thank you. I will do my best to do more videos like this in the future - along with more of my usual content :)
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!
Thank you. This type of footage is my favourite to film so I am glad you enjoyed it!
@@AShotOfWildlife good to hear it's one of my favourite series you do. 👍🏻
Being an aquarist these water life vids are my favourite
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!
Thank you Mark. I'm really glad you enjoy my videos and that they remind you of home. Cheers
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
Thank you. I love filming and shoeing the underappreciared wildlife, especially in towns and cities.
You bring my heart joy to see the nature I was so into as a child. Thanks
Thank you. I feel that whilst making these videos I am almost reliving my own childhood, or the best parts of it at least!
Very interesting 👍
Thank you.
Cheers Liam, I enjoyed this underwater one.
Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed it.
What a brilliant idea to film this. I really enjoyed this video, and definitely look forward to seeing more (I enjoy your other videos as well 🙂) Thank you.
Great, thank you!
It's amazing that even though you can't always see them from above water, there are lots of fish lurking. I will definitely not be complaining about my local water's 'lack of fish' now.
Yes, I've never been disappointed when I've filmed underwater, there's always something to see! Cheers
Great underwater footage- good to know that river is doing well. That carp was humungous! The blue stickleback was lovely to see too.
Loved this video. Always come back to your channel when I'm homesick and missing Norfolk
Thank you. Norfolk is a lovely place so I'm not surprised you miss it now and again. Cheers
Another excellent video,loving the underwater footage. Nice to meet you this morning at the ‘Balsam Bash’
Cheers Steve. I'm glad you liked th video.
Thanks for coming along today.
Beautiful video - thanks
Thanks Helen!
I’m so grateful to you for this. Who would have thought there’d be so much down there
Thanks Pamela. I'll be doing several more underwater videos soon so keep an eye out for them. Cheers
Another amaizing cotribution Liam. Stunning immages Thank you.
Thank you!
I really enjoyed this-it reminded me of when I were a lad back near Selby hunting sticklebacks and tadpoles in the 1960's 😀
Sticklebacks, tadpoles and newts are where it all started for me too.... not in the 60's but it has lasted a lifetime so far.
Top post !! Again always learning from your channel!! Brilliant Liam 👍🎥👍
Cheers Craig!
Hey Liam. Great video yet again 😊 You should go check out some water troughs in fields, I've found loads of things in them including Sticklebacks. I think they eggs come off passing birds that stop for a drink or a dip? Surprising what you find in small water pockets.
I have found sticklebacks in horse troughs too... but I think its most likely they've been put there on purpose. I once spoke to a farmer and he said he had them in all his troughs because they eat any parasites.
exellent underwater filming very interesting it would be great to see some more underwater shots as well as your wildlife land ones thanks for taking the trouble to film them
Thanks Keith! I will keep the videos coming! Cheers
Thank you Liam. 😊
Thank you so much!
Brilliant video, very professional footage (pecs are amazing too!)
Fabulous. Thanks for posting. I've not seen a Bullhead since I was a child.
Thanks. That is the only place where I have seen them for a few years but they seem to be doing okay there.
Amazing video, the best wildlife footage and narration I’ve seen. Full of information. Please keep them coming
Thank you so much, thats very kind and I really appreciate your support!
Attenborough eat your heart out 👍
Thank you.
Yet another brilliant and informative video 👍, excellent and well done ✅
Thank you!
Brilliant footage mate! What an excellent insight into some of our beautiful aquatic wildlife!😊
Really enjoyed the video Liam 👌 interesting and I like the little snippets of humour you incorporate in it. Great to see Bullheads & Stone Loaches in River Tas. Well done 👏
Great video of some local fish. Think you should do more underwater filming
Thanks. I definitely will, theyre not the easiest things to film but I do really enjoy it.
Lovely video and a tranquil escape from the doom and gloom of wars, murder and the madness of humanity, a kind of soul food.
Thank you!
@@AShotOfWildlife no problem, your videos are a tranquil Oasis in the cruel desert that is most of social media.
Reall enjoyed this video - as I enjoy all your videos!! More on the hidden world please, especially that brilliant lake!
Thanks. I have been doing some more filming at the Lake but it'll be a while before I cam do it justice with a great video. However, I do have a lot of other content coming up so stay tuned for that. Cheers
This was cool. You should definitely make more of these.
Thank you. I'll do my best!
Such an interesting, well presented and enjoyable watch. I love Norwich and Norfolk so made it all the more special.
Omg I love your respect and love for nature! You are a rare gem !!
Thank you.
NICE ONE.
Cheers!
me myself i'm a splosher, seeing how happy your pants were at the start i wonder if you are too:)
defiantly something i'm interested in, never thought about remote underwater photography,
love to see more of what you find
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.
Great footage and interesting commentary 🤩
Thank you!
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..........................
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.
Great vd, It's amazing the fact we have such beutiful fish in the country, thanks for showing them
Fascinating 🙂
Super video. More underwater shots please. Thanks.
Thank you! I will definitely get some more underwater filming done as soon as the local rivers run clear.
👍🏻 It’d be great to see more underwater creatures. This was interesting. That one along the bottom, is it like a catfish? 👍🏻
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.
@@AShotOfWildlife oh, ok, thanks! Looking forward to more videos.
Love your videos. I've seen every one. Please keep them coming. Thank you.
Thank you very much. The next one will be out this evening but it's a bit longer than usual so get comfy before you watch it. Cheerd
Really good video. I find freshwater fish so difficult to identify when I see them in the water when it is clear. Thanks for your information.
Thank you. I'm glad to help
Cheers for the upload Mate, I always enjoy your videos!
Thank you!
Great video, thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching it!
I missed this when it was posted but this is just beautiful! I love these underwater videos! Thanks!
Once again a cracking video, keep em coming.
Thank you! The next one should be really good (if I do say so myself lol)
Another great video am glad your channel is growing
Thank you!
Well! I wasn't going to watch this one as I'm not really into fish, but I did watch it and I found it all very interesting! And it actually made a pleasant change to see life in the river! You'd never know all that was going on beneath the surface. I thought maybe a few minnows.... just goes to show!!
Very nice video love the fish.like the way you tell it awesome
Thank you!
Very interesting mate I love fish
Cheers!
Incredible footage.
Thank you!
I’d love another fish video!
Great. I will get out filming another one soon then :)
That was amazing , wasn’t expecting that much life- I’m going to try this - great videos 👍
Thank you. Good luck and feel free to let me know if you manage to film anything interesting :)
Great video and very good camera work. Hope you carry on making these interesting topics.
Thank you. I plan on doing more like this so stay tuned :)
I have a chalk stream on my property and have recently introduced dragonflies and damsel flies to increase biodiversity. I even have a pair of visiting egrets that eat the water shrimps. I’ve had ducks and moorhens nest in the stream.
Fantastic! You are very lucky, I enjoy any time I get beside a stream so if I had one in my garden, I dont think I would ever be anywhere else!
Thanks so much! I've always wanted to learn the difference, beautiful shots!
Love the channel, bro. Keep up the great work. All the best, cheers.
Thank you so much, for your comment and the extra support! I am currently editing a longer form video where I visit several places on a weekend away, lots of wildlife and lots of interesting (hopefully) information about the things I see. Cheers
Good video, very informative and interesting.
Thank you!
I've been a subscriber for a while and have to say that this video has been my favourite so far, great work.
Great. Well going forward there will be more like this, mixed in with the content ive been producing for the past few months. Hopefully something for everyone.
Great video, would love to see more like this. Great work 🙏🏾
Thank you.
Brilliant footage, really enjoyed watching this (and your other stuff!). Agree with comment about the importance of people knowing about what we have in our British water ways. I fish the river Avon and kennet and Avon canal in Bath-both are teaming with fish, people are often surprised when I tell them this. I think a lot of people think rivers are just dirty bits of water running through a town, but they’re really not 😊 love to see loads more films if you’re up for it! Many thanks
Excellent , really intetesting
Thank you!
Really enjoyed this one 😊
Thanks Thea!
Fantastic video
Thank you!
Tbf that was excellent 👍. Nailed it .
Thank you!
It is the second time I watched this movie, it is so good Liam!
Splendid stuff. 👍
Cheers!
Never seen anything like this before in uk waters, more interesting than the birds because we see birds a lot of the time. Perhaps get the frogs, toads & newts on camera. 👍
Thank you! I am going to do some amphibians but it'll probably be next spring now.
Really good, I immensely enjoyed it, thanks!
Thank you!
Thanks
Thanks Dave. I really appreciate your support and hope you will continue to enjoy my videos!
Great photography, thanks. One on the pike would be good 👍
Another great short film.
Nice to see all those places teaming with fish. People should be trapping those Crayfish and eating them !
Unfortunately trapping isnt allowed in Norfolk. Because the disease they pass to natives can be spread by traps, the environment agency are worried people trapping them may spread the disease to places the crayfish couldnt get themselves. Cheers!
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.
Simply wonderful.
Thank you!
That lake looks amazing!
Its pretty interesting. I have recently been told there used to be big pike in there so that is a target for the next month or two!
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
Defo interested in more underwater ones superb
Love this yes woukd be very interested in another one
More excellent stuff. Thank you.
Fascinating. Some amazing filming there, thanks for showing us the diversity of British wildlife and passing on your knowledge. Love your uploads!
Thank you very much. It means a lot to hear your support. I will keep them coming!
Really enjoyed that, thanks.
Thank you!
Thank you so much!
Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed it.
Another lovely video Liam, so fascinating to see what’s in the water it’s like a secret world down there away from us humans. Thanks for filming that
Thank you. I love filming underwater, especially in busy places for people as theres a usually another entire world down there!
One of your best videos ever Liam and a very interesting one too, hope you do more like this.
Thank you! I have a few ideas like this so hopefully I can deliver the goods!
Great stuff😊
Thank you!
