Alex you are very lucky to share your outings with your mom. Enjoy your time hunting . It will be very fond memories ❤❤

    That open mouth baby is hilarious 😂 Maybe it gets filled with sick to come out of, although it would leak out of all the other little holes 😂 Sadly, the bird will possibly have died from bird flu... I've seen dead birds of similar fish eating species sadly. That Black Watch badge is incredible and fitting for the time of year!

    Awesome last week's video I thought you had come upon where an old grave was washed out. The first bridle tether and hair. Now finding the badge I do believe you have found a service member's badge when he was buried in his uniform. I think the water took the remains. Wow!! What an amazing History ❤

    Absolutely LOVE that little doll head wearing her crown (she FANCY) and the fact that you tried to give CPR to a cormorant/shag. RIP. The range of doll parts you found on this trip made the collection a bit sort of deathy and army-leggy but fantastic at the same time. I think the schwoo shard may well be a piece of Burleighware (though not 100% sure). THANKYOU for your gorgeously calming creative videos.. They've been chilling me out every week since the beginning of the pandemic - so grateful to you both xxxx
