I posted recently about how people view Zander in the UK and loads of you brought up the topic of Carp which is a non native (arguably invasive) fish to the UK and yet a multi million pound industry revolves around it. So whats peoples thoughts?

One of the best ways you can support the work I do is buy some of the merch I have including posters, calendars, playing cards and books its all on my website or get in touch for more info!

European pond turtles are the best #europeanpondturtle #nature #science #rewilding

Biggest shoal of Gudgeon I’ve ever filmed #gudgeon

Skates and sharks investigating the camera #shark #scotland #rays

Found this tiny pike on todays snorkel won't be long before its terrorizing the local rudd!

Sturgeon are the best #sturgeon #nature #science

Whos going to Global Birdfair next week then? I'll be on the plover stage at 11:30am on Sunday 12th speaking about rivers and wildlife.

I've been very lucky to see sand lizards both here in the UK and abroad this year with the males taking on a wonderfully vibrant green on the flanks a true jewel of the heath.

Ruffe are the best fish #ruffe #nature #science

This week I speak to the @ukwildlifecrime about the work they do including bird of prey persecution, poaching and the wildlife trade smuggling species in the UK beardedtit.podbean.com/e/uk-wildlif...

Amazing to be in the middle of a shoal of perch smashing into roach fry who needs tuna low hanging fruit!

I'm slowly building up my European fishes photographic library with this stunning chap in breeding colours but can anyone guess the species? Clue it was in Denmark with Brook Trout and a Bream in there to for good measure.

I'm at Five Leaves Bookshop in Nottingham next week speaking about my latest book on rivers come join if your in the area!

Going after a very rare river fish in this one youtu.be/YNn3K9m00JA?...

Silver Bream are the best #silverbream #nature #science

Amazing to think we once had 8ft long fish swimming around British rivers less than a hundred years ago. I do think european sturgeon would recolonize on there own eventually but this may take decades so need a helping fin. The threats to them now are barriers to migration

Join for for a freshwater snorkel trip! www.naturetrek.co.uk/tours/snorke...

Lets play spot the agile frog! Found this little chap on my recent trip to Denmark

Generally speaking I try to stay off social media as much as I can (post and ghost mostly) but it does have its upsides. A few days ago I asked my followers if anyone knew where to find stick insects in Cornwall and one of got back to me with some n his garden

Been after one of these for a while now as I fish a very deep body of water for one of the UKs rarest freshwater fish youtu.be/AMovgY6blOI?...

Caught my 120th UK species today the target was red band fish which eventually put in a appearance but then got a surprise capture of a Steven’s Goby a species I hadn’t even thought that I’d be able to catch one. Great trip on Anglo Dawn Boat Charter - Falmouth as always !

I'm in Cornwall this week putting does BRUV's (Baited Remote Underwater Vehicles) to see what turns up looking for lunch and today was great around falmouth including plenty of bullhuss!

Its been a great year for painted ladies seen so many on the red valerian and even a few in my garden!

This is why Arctic Charr are the best fish #charr #nature #fishing

The highlight of my recent Estonia trip was seeing these incredible Vimba in full breeding colours!

Do any of my Cornish followers have stick insects in there gardens? I remember one falling on my head when I was in falmouth a few years ago! We have three species established in the UK all from New Zealand originally and found in many cornish gardens.

Had a incredible trip to Denmark with Celtic Rewildingon to visit sites to get ideas , advice and inspiration for projects back home. They get some flack from certain parties and my experience is both Tom and Harvey are hard working , passionate individuals trying to make an actual difference.

This weeks podcast is with species hunting power house @don_specieshunter open.spotify.com/episode/14Vu...

Visited the Copenhagen zoo reintroduction programme today and saw the natterjack toads being fed!

This handsome chap is an edible frog the only native water frog to Denmark those colours are incredible!

Great start to the rewilding trip in Denmark with this very pretty moor frog yesterday and other highlights being raft spider, hen harrier, white tailed eagle and sand lizard

Zander and chips at the National marine aquarium in Denmark tasted not bad to be fair

I’ve got @james_buckley_angling on the podcast this week as we talk about what’s it like being a river keeper open.spotify.com/episode/27zZ...

I’m heading out to Denmark for a week and have a couple days in Copenhagen any suggestions for fish/wildlife bits? Aquarium I think is a must

Todays vid I take a tour around Celtic Rewilding to see some of the work they do and creatures they have on site. Expect frogs! www.youtube.com/watch?v=59BU...

With everything going on in UK rivers I get asked constinley "What can I do"? And increasingly I struggle to answer the question in what seems a very hopeless situation of sewage pollution, run off, invasive species, abstraction take your pick. what do others do?

My wharf aquatics video has done fairly well and I'll be back soon for sure www.youtube.com/watch?v=XwYm...

I'm doing one last weird fish vid for youtube so if you have any pics of strange species caught in the UK and would like them featured let me know. hybrids, colour morphs anything unusual welcome!

This weeks guest on the podcast is Derek Gow as we talk about how we lost the wolf in the UK and if it may return one day? beardedtit.podbean.com/e/will-the-b...

Few weeks ago I saw UK Crested Newts and along with lots of interesting species they had various colour morphs of common frog including albinos

This weeks vid I visit the best aquatics shop in Britain www.youtube.com/watch?v=XwYm...

Last night was a bit special I joined Natural Resource Wales on the Usk to catch some Twaite Shad for tagging. Normally it’s a protected species and it’s illegal to target them in England & Wales but we needed to get some to tag movements.

I’ve written two books with Bloomsbury and a third on its way next year. Got some more of these in stock if you’d like a signed copy get in touch!

The only native herptile I haven't seen in the wild is the Natterjack toad something I'm planning to remedy next year. They are Britains rarest toad and a protected species normally found on sand dunes and some heaths.

This weeks guest is James Lowen as we talk all about UK moths! beardedtit.podbean.com/e/british-mo...

Been trying to track down one of these for a while to photograph the edible frog! Named after its tasty qualities it's a strange frog in that its actually a hybrid of a pool frog and marsh frog.
