im sure people can set up a camera, it would help if you make a video, and give the step by step way to remove the SD memory card and where you put the card, to view the animals or wildlife..

Awesome footage, beautiful trout and a good half pound roach

good stuff

Do you mind me asking where because I’ve not seen a fish down near the orange bridge for at least a year

This is just the thing I've been wanting to know. Really appreciate it.

Skaby seen this before !! Think its algy parasite that enters the resptory sistem of salmon ??? Caseing scabs to form !! Not good

Goole used to be in the East Riding back in the 1960s .

Good explanation of quite a complicated river and navigation system.

Great thank you

I remember back in the 60's a small ship breaking it's moorings and getting stuck across the Dutch river at the old Goole bridge. I seem to think it may have broken it's back. I'm sure there will be some articles somewhere to clarify it. I wonder where all the spoil ended up, as you said it's probably 20mts wide and over the length is a lot of soil. Keep up the good work, I really enjoy your reports

As you say the Don is a fascinating river. Have known it all my life. Its transformation over the last few decades is remarkable. It now displays a natural beauty (which was sometimes hidden beneath those several feet of foam you mentioned.) And its fascination is deepened by the industrial history that lingers over its banks.

Insightful look at the Dutch river.

brilliant that thankyou .I originate from Tinsley which the don flows through and remember the pollution . keep em coming.

Thanks for that, the Don is close to my heart and it's history has interested me for years, A very interesting video

Amazing stuff thank you

Amazing stuff. I live in deepcar and am very impressed with the weir removal there. Eager to get involved!

Keep the videos coming. I often look at my garden and wonder how it would look if the Dutchman hadn't altered the course. I'm almost certain that it flowed through the rear, over the veg plot and out of the village towards the Trent. I can't prove it 100% because what map's I have seen are very old and not too precise. Keep up the good work

Very satisfying to watch. Great work.

Can we not plant willow to protect our banks from erosion?

I've been in Aldwarke for 8 years and have only seen two salmon trying to get up the weir. The first one was 4 years ago and unfortunately there were 3 fishermen in the water in waders and two standing on the screw trying to catch it.

Great project but frustrating we have to try and go round these structures rather than just remove them.

I live on what would have been the banks of the Don had Vermuyden not drained this area, in fact I'm not far from Meredyke where the Don fed into the Trent. Would the Salmon have used this as a way of navigating back in the day. Great video and a great project

Too many Avian preditors to be much of a success imo. A hatchery would be the game changer. Large numbers of Smolts are required for a few to get through. The EA usually says No😢

Fantastic, keep up the good work.

Shame it didn't finish.

That crayfish looks like the white clawed species not the signal cray

What model is that please

It's some plastic or material debris. Look at the the rear tip, it flutters too much for a fish tail movement, look at the body, not straight, as for the colouring......I fish the Don from Hillsborough to Rotherham, then at Doncaster, with a stick float and maggots, in every swim I pick everything off and I've never caught a salmon in 30 years. Hillsborough through Sheffield is now all grayling and brown trout and Rotherham end is roach, dace, chub and the odd brown trout or grayling. I'll take anybody fishing in any swim and tell you beforehand what we will catch as the day progresses!

Thank you for sharing with us all 👍🏻🦔🦔🦔🦔🦔🦔🦔🦔🦔🦔

this has been a massive help thank you - just back from a sleep out in the woods and saw so much wild life so I'm buying buying -one !

5 minutes in and still no help towards identifying any birds…. 👎👎👎

Ghgb

excellent, followed the don on the map from its origin and then it became Dutch river now I know why , thanks for explaining it all

Very interesting many thanks for your efforts

Useful, thanks.

It's incredible how the river has come on, a few year ago a friend of mine caught a Salmon Parr in the down above Sheffield.

poggers!

Very good.

Does the EA or councils have the power of compulsory purchase of land for flood defences? There's a site at Darton on the upper Dearne, OS grid ref SE 310 101. I remember thinking, probably in 2007, that an L shaped bund, 400m by 100m and maybe 2m high, parallel to the western bank of the river then turning 90 degrees to the SW to create an impound would hold something in the region of 10,000m3 more than the existing floodplain. That is, by raising the water level in the enclosure to the same level as the river at the upstream end of the bund, probably about 1m. The point at which it starts to fill can be adjusted by cutting a shallow ditch, from memory it would only need to be a matter of inches deep, so that the enclosure starts to fill just before Darton starts to flood. There's hundreds of acres of farmland, and some that I believe still belongs to the Coal Authority, on the upper Dearne and Cawthorn dike upstream of Barnsley, I'm sure it'd be possible to build enough attenuation volume to prevent a 2007 level flood. Presumably, as with most things these days it's a matter of funding.

Catching salmon in the Rother now upto Beighton.

Which type of flowers we will use

Nice

Wish i had looked at your video before i put my cams up,moving bird feeders is setting them off,last look i had about 10000 photos of nothing and thousands of videos which i just deleted because of time it took to check them all.

Great workshop with an enthusiastic presenter. I was going to mention the bluebells (being in Scotland) but the fact sheet beat me to it. Very common in British isles, except high mountains and fens

Thank you for this video. Im on Amazon as i type to buy one. Watching wildlife so beats whats on tv these days.

Great to recap on just what you’ve achieved in such a short time - well done all involved

Loving the vids. You deserve more views. Go and search for smzeus . c o m!!! Ever since I started using it on my main channel my videos are ranking much better!!

Thank you so much for sharing your tips of how to setup a trail camera in the garden. I have just bought one. And I have to admit. I think I put it way to high. I live next to a field. But it says in the instructions not to aim towards a field. Is this true? Because I think I'd capture more if I did aim towards a field? Also, the times I have been filming is between 23:00 - 04:00. Is that the best times? I know I have some feral cats around. And pheasants. But I'm hoping to capture more than that. Though pheasants can be interesting to sometimes.

Very informative, Thanks
