Wildlife visits you! What a secluded and beautiful place!.
Amazing!!!! What a place to wake up in...
Wow, Joel. Just wow!
Wow just wow I was blown away by the whole set up
Monkeys on the balcony Gekos locust exotic butterflies
It will be fascinating to see what new species arrive at the pond !!!!
Sooo jealous of that owl monkey sighting
Amazing! What an awesome place! Don't go to fast, you might miss something. Wow, those guys are super great workers, don't blame you for wanting to take them home with you. Also want to say, the music was perfect for this video! Keep on keeping on Joel!
Oh my, what an absolutely magnificent place. Such unspoiled beauty never fails to melt my heart. All of that truly amazing wildlife, the true art form of nature. Absolutely stunning and breathtaking. I just want to wrap my arms around these beautiful creatures. This is what it's all about, beautiful living things that are absolutely priceless. Such treasured gifts to behold and treasure.
Thank you for sharing. Until next time🌻
What an amazing place! All the insects seem to be on steroids! Beautiful!
Hey Joel! Lovely to escape in this video to somewhere so beautiful and hot, when it's blowing a gale and pouring down here! What an incredible place it is. Loved the birds and the little red frog. What a place for you to work. An amazing experience! Best wishes.
Oh geez. Muck! That’s hard and dangerous. Fabulous, cultural experience for you, Joel. One you’ll never forget.
Wow incredible place ❤
Enjoyed the video, Panama looks great!
Beautiful beasties 😊
Amazing! 🌴🏵
Thanks
I bet you couldn’t wait to go off exploring. That feeling you get when you explore a new area, the species you will encounter for the first time. I have seen a Blue Morpho but only in a butterfly house, but lovely to see, the Owl Butterfly too. Look forward to next instalment.
Owl monkeys on the balcony! Blue morpho's! 🤩 Wow, wow, wow Joel. You've truly found your own little piece of paradise there (and can't think of anyone who deserves to be there more 🤗), what a gorgeous place! Looking forward to watching the next videos 😁🌴
What a place Joel. I’d love to go there and convalesce for a few weeks, maybe months. Get all this life times stresses out of my system. Place looks absolutely amazing Joel 😊
Wow! It looks like an amazing place, I bet you wish all your clients would put you up in such luxury 😄. I don’t envy you working in that heat, I melt on a hot day in the UK! 😬 Looks like you had a great team of workers though. Looking forward to seeing more of the wildlife, that beautiful clearwing butterfly looks interesting.
What a luxuriant place almost straight out of an adventure movie😮. It is incredible to see what was achieved in 25 years to turn this area of Tranquilo Bay into an eco tourism venture such as this. Just beyond belief, knowing full well how difficult the climatic conditions are in the tropics when it comes to building anything. Can't wait to see the pond creation finished product. Kudos to the local labour force for working in such humid and torrid conditions. You must have felt it pretty bad especially ially the humidity
I have been living in the tropics for the past 35 years, and I am still not used to it... and don't think I ll ever will. I can't wait for the next instalments of this fantastic Panama series. Hope you and Nikki are well 😊. Take care and have a great weekend ahead.
WOW AMAZING 🐸💚🐸
That little red frog!
@@SisterDogmatayou know me too well 😊🐸💚🐸
Amazing Joel! Please also share info about this place and how to book a vacation there!
Joel, please explain the need for covering the bottom of the pond with the material that doesn’t belong to that place.
Hi there - sorry for the delay in catching up with you, with over 300 videos there's so many comments, but I'm trying to ensure no one is ignored, notifications from YT are sporadic too. The reason the rubber liner (recycled from tyres and recommended by Greenpeace) is so that the water stays there, the fleece is protected by the subsoil on top and the subsoil negates the need for planting in additional plastic baskets. Ponds are vital and, with all the methods out there that are viable, these are better than fibreglass, concrete etc of course. Hope this helps explain, best wishes - Joel
I could watch hours of this, what an amazing place. Lucky people! I would love to hear more about why they wanted you to come all the way and build a pond there, for example are there no natural ponds or lakes on this island? What are the advantages in such a tropical rainforest paradise of building a pond? Seems almost a shame to put manmade liners in such a pristine looking place, but I guess clay isn’t an option? Many questions and some envy, but delightful to watch. Was it hard to sleep in that night chorus?
Hi there - still catching up on so many comments, YT notifications are sporadic and sometimes I miss comments and questions, not ignoring anyone! I met Jim through the global bird fair conservation weekend held in England. He has been desperate to put a pond in, where he lives is an island and there are no ponds, it used to be completely farmed previously and he's spent many years bringing it back to be suitable for wildlife. He has waited ages to put a pond in and asked if I would go there and, with the local guys help, ensure that it was another habitat for wildlife. It now has dragonflies, amphibians etc that have managed to find it and even a Caiman - Jim sends regular updates and hopefully with the film clips I'll be able to collate enough to bring another update video to you all. Hope this helps, best wishes - Joel
@@WildYourGardenWithJoelAshton Thank you so much fior catching up, I know you are busy and YT notifications live their own life it seems for me as well. Oh and thank you for explaining why he indeed was in need of a pond in a place that to a casual outsider looks like it has it all! I have saved some of your tropical adenture for a special treat in viewing them, which I will be shortly. It sounds wonderful if there might be even further updates from Jim and this paradise-like island. Best wishes
What a beautiful paradise. What is the name of the reddish butterfly with the see-through wings? So beautiful. Btw loved the barefeet too. That's the way to go.😄
That must have been the sweatiest job you ever did!
You're right! 🤣
Youre lucky there are no howler monkeys there,their screams are ear deaffening scary,
I’m a big fan of all that you do, however, how does travelling half way around the globe to dig a pond make any sense at all. You’ve lost me on this one. Makes good “telly” I suppose, nevertheless…what for??
I would do exactly the same if i had the means
Im pretty sure it will help others to access creatures they would not usually see in that area
Isn't de-wilding the garden to put a plastic pond in that envirioment
Any water in the environment increases the biodiversity 1:16 1:18
@@kingfisher3011 there is water enough in that environment.. It needs no pond in a rainforrest. It only disturbs the wildlife en so the biodiversety. It isn't Great Brittain. Its like bringing sand to a dessert???
How is creating an indefinite habitat for wildlife a bad thing?
How much wildlife do you think was in that bare patch of ground compared to what is now already a thriving habitat. Wait for the next video to see what’s already turned up…
@@julisilon bit of a sweeping statement lol
Joel is helping to increase the biodiversity
Do you actuall know how much freshwater ponds there are in that area ?
