- I'm embarking on a lifelong quest to find and film every single animal in the UK! There's 742 critters that I'm after, so that should keep me busy for the next few decades.
Now, I'm not exactly an animal or a photography expert... but join me as we learn as we go and uncover some of the more mysterious little creatures, as well as your day to day pigeons, together.
I've just had this randomly recommended and honestly I am thanking the algorithm
And I am thanking you sianparker6235 for watching, I appreciate the comment 😀
lol same thing happened to me today so watched and subscribed
Thanks mate I hope you enjoy my future episodes!
This series is amazing. Thank you.
Thank you so much mate I appreciate that 😀 I'll do my best to keep bringing out good episodes!
What a great idea for a channel.
@@SG_____ Thanks mate, I hope you enjoy watching the journey!
Oh, and.. Love your logo!!!!!
Thank you!
Possibly the best video I have randomly came across on TH-cam. If you need some ideas on how to better find reptiles and amphibians there are plenty of herping videos you can watch on TH-cam. You already are doing one good thing in that every stone or piece of metal or log you turn over put back how you found it as that is someones home and you don't want to destroy it. Also, release any animal caught back where you got it. I look forward to following you on your journey.
You just made my day 😃 I'm thrilled that you liked it and I'll definitely check out some herping videos for more tips. I can't wait to get some good adder footage especially..
I'm going to attempt to find a green lizard in Bournemouth next month too!
Humor and nature the perfect combination. God speed your critter-finding adventures! I'm signing up for the ride.
Thank you! Glad to have you on the quest!
That is a great start especially the 2 lizards. I lived in the UK until I was 28 but I only ever saw 2 lizards one of which was in the dunes at Studland. I could tell you where I saw it but that was about 1967, so I think he would have moved by now!
Haha yeah he might be in a slightly different spot now 😂 I saw more lizards yesterday near Bournemouth, I got some waaaay better sand lizard footage which was awesome!
I also want to rewild lands, so I am glad to discover your channel. What a great dream and challenge! :-D All the best to you. I will follow you ^^
That's awesome you have the same dream, thanks for following I hope you enjoy the quest!
Saw your comment on a Simon squibb video lol, great content, follow your dream!
Thanks for checking out my channel!
Great video!
Thank you bro I appreciate that!
Great video quality for a Chanel this size man keep it up.
Thank you very much mate I appreciate that! I'll definitely keep going, 13 episodes so far 😃
I know nothing about British snakes but here in Australia, if you are going to pick up a piece of corrugated iron you ALL WAYS lift it with the opening AWAY FROM YOU!!
Why you may ask ??
If there is a angry snake under there, the tin is between you and the snake if it decides to try and bite you.
You for 1 have a sheet of iron between your body and their teeth but 2, you can drop the iron back on top of it quick smart and hope that gives you time to run!
Any poisonous snakes in pommy land?
Thank you for your concern ☺️ we only have one venomous snake here, the adder, and there's only been 14 deaths since 1876 from them so they're not really worth worrying about.. I'm pretty sure if I did this series in Australia I'd already be dead 😂
@@CreatureChroniclesUK lol.
Just out of concern , dont be number 15.
Yes there are lots of things here that want to kill you here but most strike out of fear so we manage to say alive by treating wildlife with respect and lifting tin is a safe manner.
You are looking for that adder, yes ?
Just keep in mind that with venomous snakes, the babies are the most venomous as they are born with all the venom of an adult but they have no control on how much they release.
They will pump all they have in to you in one bite.
excitement to see ep2🌒
@@user-go8mz8qc6y I'm on episode 13 now!
I came from a comment of yours in Simon Squibb's video. Love your journey man!
Thanks for checking out my channel! I'm glad you're enjoying it so far 😁
Me too! 🙂
3:57 I think thats a Latticed Heath moth. I know you're not planning on doing insects, but maybe consider a moth special sone time. Borrow a trap from someone and stick it out on a warm, cloudy night. You may be surprised at the variety we get here in the UK.
@doingmybest6438 awesome thanks for letting me know! I actually have a moth trap I haven't gotten around to using 😂 I will definitely do a moth special at some point that's a great idea and I'm actually really curious to see what we have.. There's a few unidentified ones in my most recent video too if you happen to know what they are
Saw your comment on Simon squibb's channel and came here. Glad i found you, good luck from one new TH-camr to another.
Thanks mate 😃 what's your channel about?
There's something so humorous about watching a guy be ecstatic over finding a lizard. Hope you have luck in finding all the animals, it'd be interesting to see how things differ from here in the States. That blackbird already looks way different than the blackbirds we have in the Midwest.
Haha yeah I'm sure everyone from lizardy countries is a bit baffled but reptiles are super uncommon to see here! I hope you enjoy the future episodes 😄
Great video, want to see the adder next ! Good luck finding them all 🎉
Thanks bro! One adder coming up...
I think you found more bugs than anything!😂😂
Apparently I'm better at finding bugs than reptiles...
Do keep in mind those 628 birds include EVERY species EVER seen, including stuff seen once 40 years ago and then never again, and completely extinct species. The real list of breeders, winterers and migrants is likely half as big (or even smaller!) Good luck in this journey, I might copy the idea for myself here in Spain ;)
Yeah I did know that 😂 I'm planning on making a more realistic target based on the breeding birds and frequent visitors, but I'll still keep the original number just to keep me busy for the rest of my life 😂
How many do you have in Spain? Remember to give me a shout out if you make a similar series 😉
@@CreatureChroniclesUKHahahah, then it'll be a lifelong journey for sure! 😂
I don't do TH-cam, i meant it as making a list with everything and keeping track of what I end up seeing. I've already been in the wildlife world for a few years but having this huge list makes me have something to always look foward to! Personally I'm lacking quite a bit in mammals and herps.
In Spain we have quite a strong biodiversity, we're the most diverse country in europe and we have many endemic species! And to answer your question, we have around a bit less than 400 regular species, including the canaries islands and the african cities :)
8 of which are endemic to the country (all in islands), and an additional 4 of them restricted to the Iberian Peninsula- though many of our species are found nowhere else in Europe.
This channel is perfect I'm so glad I clicked on the recommended video. Looking forward to watching a hilarious naturalist journey around the UK and looking forward to seeing your channel grow!
@Bo-my5bn I'm really glad you enjoyed the video! I have 3 episodes up now if you fancy checking out the other 2 😀 welcome to the quest!
What an amazing thumbnail man, cool video too
Thank you mate I appreciate that 😊 episode 2 is out now if you fancy checking it out, hopefully you enjoy that one too 😃
@@CreatureChroniclesUK I'm going to watch it rn!!
This is such a fun series!!! Can't wait to see the entire range in the UK
(that poor bug on the mushrooms was fighting for his life lol)
Thank you 😃 there's so many awesome creatures to find!
Enjoyed this and looking forward to more! Dartford warbler and sand lizard are both impressive finds. Subscribed 😁
Thank you I'm glad you enjoyed it! I didn't know how rare Dartford warblers are until researching them after identifying it, definitely an awesome find 😃
Err, this is gonna take awhile, there's about 10,000,000 dogs and 20.000.000 cats alone,
Yeah I know it's going to be tricky.. luckily I've already found at least 6 of each though
this dude is about to blow up
Thank you bro! Watch this space...
Good luck to ya just subbed
@strbst2075 thanks mate! Glad to have you on the quest
Started off very strong there with some rare species! I've subscribed to joun you on your hunt.
Thanks for subscribing, glad to have you on the hunt!
Can you have the added challenge of attempting to pet the non-dangerous ones
I'll do my best 😉
next up the scorpians in scotland i know sounds fake but we actually have scorpians up there they came across on boats years ago ,should have a lil look up well worthvit
Thanks for the tip mate, I'll definitely look into that 😃 I wouldn't have wanted to be on those boats...
Just like Pokemon but in real life and without the catching lol. Good luck on the quest, I'm tuning in from the Netherlands. Gotta see 'em all 🦔
Haha 😂 I so nearly called this series Pokemon IRL! There's so many similarities, if I find them and they get away before I film them it's just like Pokemon running away in the game! I'm basically working on a real life Pokedex.. thanks for joining the quest!
I'm pretty sure your number of mammals includes many species of cetaceans some of which are quite rare. I think they'll be your most elusive. Really great quest btw
Yes it will include them.. they'll certainly be a challenge 😂 down the line I hope to recruit the help of experts for the real tricky creatures. Thanks for your support!
@@CreatureChroniclesUK For land mammals the very rarest, like wildcats are very site specific and experts will be easy to find recruit (I live in the Cairngorm and have found prints in winter). Wild stoats and weasels are really hard to spot.... but I guess you'll be spending a lot of time in hides. Again, really epic quest. Hats off for even contemplating it.
Thank you mate 😊 that must have been exciting to even find prints of the wildcat! I'll definitely need to do a lot of Scottish trips to find a lot of the creatures.
Hopefully I'll get some good luck here and there to help me along the way too!
@@CreatureChroniclesUK I’d been out solo for several months by that point. A lot of magical moments, but finding fresh paw prints so crisp and clear, and being far enough away from any farm or residence to be sure it wasn’t domestic, it was a very special experience. I tracked it for about 10-20ft and even over that short distance it tells a story. Of course will be happy to help if I’m in the area anytime you’re passing through.
That sounds awesome! And thanks for the offer mate I'll bear that in mind 😃 I have a new video up if you're interested!
I'm in. Let's go.
These creatures don't stand a chance 👊
Awesome video and wishing you good luck with your search!! Do you by chance also plan to look for any shorebirds and marine mammals along your journey? :)
Thank you very much I appreciate that 😊
100%! I can't wait to go and find a load of shorebirds soon and things like seals, keep checking back there will be videos on those soon!
rare algorithm W
I'm glad you enjoyed the video! Episode 2 is out if you fancy it.. 😉
Would it be against the rules to go into a zoo or wildpark?
I'm aiming to find all of them in the wild.. in the episode I'm uploading today I've included red deer from Bushy Park in London though, but one day I'll go to Scotland and try and film them again there!
Ash Ketchum
Hahaaaa I so nearly called this series Pokemon IRL!!!
I completely misread this
As what?
