Dean, The diving Decorator (Pike film)

[bingo]

Amazing stuff. Fascinating footage. Thanks for the link.

 

Some of this footage was in Titchmarsh's Nature of Britain but I missed it too.

 

I believe that Hugh Miles has captured a perch eating a crayfish. I read it somewhere. Hopefully it will be in his new programme.

 

Watching the crayfish eating eggs is worrying though. At the moment they're helping fish to get bigger but I wonder what the long term consequences could be? (just a thought, don't want to hijack this thread).

Even Newt can see British TV now!!

 

Actually I don't think it works overseas. It's only available to the UK because of the licence fee, I think

well worth a look.

Thanks for the thought Colin but it turns out not to be the case. Shame too since I'd have loved to see that piece.

Brilliant! Thanks for posting about it.

The crayfish on that film are the white clawed variety an indigenous species that have co existed in harmony with all other aquatic things for thousands of years and represent no problem at all to fish and their reproductive effortsIts the red signals and the turkish ones that are the real danger to fish stocks and eggs but none were shown to be present during that film

 

Absolutely stunning footage and I think on the evidence of the filming Dean won't be using his brush's for much longer

So there's bad news and possibly good news on the chances that Newt can see some proper TV ! at last.

Dean posts on the P&P forum and there is a possibility of a DVD of this and other stuff he has produced. Fingers crossed.

 

As you say, it's a shame you can't see this excellent piece of film.

 

Anyone know if it can be recorded?

 

I and others have posted our praise of the program to the BBC here. Perhaps we might get more of the same if enough do the same?

Wow! Thanks for the link, that was great.

Brilliant! Thanks for posting about it.

 

Great little film.

 

I could have watched an hour of it.

[MatNewman]

Awesome! Absoluetly amazing footage! Does anyone know if there are going to be more of these short films?

 

It would be really good to have someone filming a session. You would be able to see the bait being presented and then if it was taken by a fish!

 

Seeing those big pike makes me remember swimming in ponds and lakes when I was younger oblivious to the fact that these predators might have been watching me
