    Hello. Who needs National Geographic when we can watch the Fish Locker. This has to be one of my favourites so far.
    I was brought up on ornithology. My father was warden of two nature reserves in Lincolnshire, Baston Fen and Surfleet lowes. I spent a lot of time helping him when i was younger. Only ever seen 1 chough and that was near Perros Gerrec in Brittany. There is a huge colony of puffins and Ganets on the islands just of the coast there, second only to the Bass rock colony. All the best, Stay safe, stay well.

      - I remember seeing the bass rock colony when I was a young lad. The cliffs at Bempton are something special also aren't they. I also remember on our first visit to Bempton there was also a Long Earned Owl roosting in a small tree in a scrub nearby. I do love a good Twitch. 😊

      This is one of the great things about a nice wholesome hobby that involves learning. It tends to thin out the nasty people a fair bit. I used to really hate it when I tried to be social and came up against an a.hole who just wanted an argument and to play power games. But yeah, a nice wholesome hobby with learning or patience involved and the nasty people avoid it because its too much effort. 😁 I LOVE when you properly find your own *tribe* like that. It gives me hope for interacting with people in the future.... 😊

    Hello pal , Hefty spider that was & you looked really chuffed with that chough🤣 you must have the golden touch , I went down to Cornwall to see some birds but never managed a shag so well done for that one ☺️
    Lovely part of the world & a great time to be out. Listening to that crow in the background I was wondering if it was a cat or a fox in the area , it’s a particular tone in the call which is pretty unmistakeable .
    Those pots certainly bought back some memories . 2 of us were doing up to 9 strings of 50 a day.( unfortunately I wasn’t on the winch🤦‍♂️) We had a couple of strings of those oblong ones but mainly the round heavy ones of roughly 35-40kg on snoods every 25m.
    There were occasions we’d only have to pull a couple or 3 to get our quota of about 1250kg. Off the back of the Wight ,crab was not only jammed inside but literally stuck to the outside of the pots too .on the harder days we’d pull all 9🥵 backbreaking but interesting . Enjoyed this video once again , thank you.Best wishes to you and yours .x

      Couldn’t resist the wordplay there .... bit of an open door🤪 Yeah happy days for my skipper !!!🤑😏
      Rarely had much in the way of spiders off the back of the Wight possibly more inshore. Is it the case with them as it is with the female edible crabs from October that they weigh heavy with the coral ? Apart from a string on st Catherine’s point we were 15 -20 miles off , that string just 1/2 a mile off the point at st Catherine’s deeps was incredible , you could only pull it on slack water as the marker buoy was already 3ft under water racing in the tide and you could barely get it aboard some days .the whole process would take about an hour but my god I’d never seen so much crab in my life, the bottom must’ve been literally crawling . You’d want to have all 9 strings working but the tide wouldn’t allow it. One day an 18th century anchor about 4ft tall with about 5 inches deep coral and barnacles around it came up , just about hooked onto the side of one of the pots . I think it’s still In my mum and dads garden somewhere in the undergrowth ... amazing whats down there and yet to be discovered .😳enjoy the rest of you’re weekend with the family .x

    Have to say what I love (and appreciate) about your work is that you really bring home just how beautiful our own country is. Sure there's beauty everywhere in the world but these days its so easy to think everywhere is 'better' because of sun, weather, people etc etc but look at what natural beauty we have here on our own doorstep ..and you illustrate it so well.
    I think you've found a niche on here on youtube and it also highlights that you have a way, your own way, with words and manner that is also I'd say a talent. You have a way of portraying all this in a really down to earth way but with articulation intelligence and humour and you overall respect the environment. (the Cornish Attenborough!)
    My dad took me fishing all the time (indeed I was out yesterday on a local lake to me) and that flutter of excitement with localised 'living with the environment' and not taking from it all the time, brings back to me those great feelings and memories I recall as a kid
    Well done on this venture and long may you (and your family) continue in good health and spirit.
