Exploring the shore in Pembrokeshire during a winter gale with Craig Evans

- YOU MUST RETURN ALL ROCKS OR STONES TO THEIR ORIGINAL POSITION AFTER LIFTING . This is a short video on what we found under the rocks during a winter gale on the shore of St Brides Bay in Pembrokeshire,this area is a particular hotspot for "cushion stars".Do to the very strong winds the majority of the footage was edited out ,and I can only apologise for the sound quality.This is one of my favourite areas because not only does it have a diverse local species mix but offshore species are sometimes swept in by westerly gales.
Really good vid dad love the little cushion stars xx
Yes they are nice,this area is a hotspot for them,daddy x
The knowledge in your videos never fail to amaze me! Anyone can lift a rock and look at the contents underneath but the fact you do it with knowledge just makes this so intrigueing to me. Your channel is excellent and i love it when a new video is uploaded. Thanks and your videos are very much appreciated as you will know from the incredible comments 👍🏻
Agree 110%!!
Thank you for a great comment gavrfc09,I'm humbled,regards Craig

I wish I was there with you and foraging coasts. I am really grateful for showing us this. I'm from Poland and I can only foraging the forest which is also very beautiful but in the forest 800 km from the see you can't find a lobster or amazing colorful fish (only mushrooms, some edible plants and berries) 😊
Thank you for your comment FCoffee,we are really fortunate here in Wales UK,regards Craig

It certainly is Mr Blair,there's no stopping him,regards Craig.
Your puppy is SO cute!
Many people think so Phoua Yang,regards Craig
Soooo cool dude..Thanks once again for this video... : )
You are very welcome Gabriel,regards Craig
You have my gratitude for taking the time, weather and wind to make these, Thank You.
Lew has begun to grow on me, much more as it's not all fresh and new to me. (Brilliant idea, Chris, grab a crab and keep it in your hand, when he lifts the rock, chuck it out and have Lew chase it... it'll buy ya a couple seconds of close-up), lol... just kiddin ya!! 😆🐕
I love the cushion stars and I love the shape of the fishes, Gobi shaped, if they weren't all in the Gobi family?
Thank you so very much, again!!😊
No problem D Devries,my pleasure,regards Craig
Just love your puppy! So curious and observant 😁💗
Yes Cazza ,he is very ,very curious,don't know about being observant though,regards Craig
Thanks for telling us what all the things are you find. Sometimes I’ll stop the tape and pull up another page to get more info on the fish, etc.
You are very welcome Patshhi4,this is a great comment,if I can inspire my viewers to find out more ,then I have achieved the purpose of the channel,regards Craig

Coastal Foraging With Craig Evans thats wat i thought sir. by the way i love all ur videos. and i love ur dog!
Another lovely video..Keep it up..:)
More to come,with better sound quality Camille,regards Craig
Did the same thing when I was a kid. Very nice!
You just can't beat learning about this environment Stefan-time for another go then ? regards Craig
Hello Craig, thank you for sharing. Wonderful information as always, and what a lovely watch. Is there any chance of a video demonstrating the preparation of lobster powder? I am keen to replicating your recipes while foraging.
You are welcome furryshrimp,I intend to do this for the viewers "when/if" I catch my next lobster,regards Craig
craig you should let us know when your going to do the next one so some of us can come join you on the adventure i myself would love it to learn everything you know your like a google book of knowledge
Hi Mark, I am in the process of starting a business taking out groups of up to 12 maximum,on foraging /days out/education .Th.e holding page of my website is online now,with the full booking service to follow. www.coastalforaging.co.uk regards Craig
Hi Mark,I normally take out groups of people for "free" as events during "Pembrokeshire Fish Week ",check it out on line,you are very welcome to attend.It is normally held in late June to early July,regards Craig
yes mate i cant wait will be great
Love it.
Glad you like it Max,regards Craig
Really impressed with your knowledge of the biodiversity/environment around you. Was kinda hoping to see you guys throw stuff in the basket and cook'em haha. Thanks for these vids, I really love them. I hope to go foraging one day somewhere safe and clean :)
We didn't find that much to cook this time Lin,what we did find we cooked in the last video.This video was just about the environment,regards Craig
another fine day, I tried the crushed lobster shell for flavouring with sea food pasta really works thanks.
I'm glad you like it Rob,a little goes a long way doesn't it,regards Craig
Those little fat cushion starfish are too cute!
They are strange little things Chelsey,regards Craig
Craig, a few quick questions if you don’t mind. First off, I love watching your videos. Entertaining and very informative. How often do you go out foraging? Have you considered taking tourists on foraging outings? The powdered lobster shell you add...is it for flavor only or does it also thicken the broth? Thanks in advance.
Hi Jamie,I go out about once a fortnight. I will be offering courses within the next month www.coastalforaging.co.uk . The lobster powder is for flavouring,it is a very strong flavour and a little goes a long way ,regards Craig
When you are showing the urchin i saw a small fish dart under the rock
Well observed John,there are invariably a few fish under the rocks here,regards Craig
Craig, how do you know all this stuff? Your knowledge extends beyond what I'd expect a hobbyist to know - everything from Latin names to medicinal anecdotes.
It's been my lifetimes' passion Luka P ,regards Craig
@@coastalforagingwithcraigev8447 Lifetime's passion? I think thats very evident in all of your videos! :)
love u guys
THank you again Rafi,regards Craig
great video mate
Thanks again Knightlife ,regards Craig
Hello there Craig!
Is this what is called a minus tide?
I love your videos
Hi Anthony,this is what we call a low "Spring " tide ,regards Craig
Hi Craig,
really enjoying these videos and are inspiring to get out and enjoy the beautiful welsh coast that we are blessed with. Is there a book that you would recommend for foraging on the coast? Also how do you learn about which areas are ok to harvest bi valves from?
Cheers
Jet
Thank you Jet,there are a number of good books on the subject,I have many,but the one I would recommend for beginners is "The Edible Seashore by John Wright",it is full of good advice on harvesting etc,regards Craig
do you ever find sea urchins large enough to harvest? I read you can scoop the edible roe from inside
Hello Craig, any news on the website yet? I have been checking at least once a week since i first asked, ha!
Hi Paul ,not yet ,we are hoping to get it done in around a month,regards Craig
Your dog ate that crab at 4.50 🦀😗
Hi Dill weed ,Llew is just inquisitive ,he does not eat anything on the coast,regards Craig
Hmm...does Chris do any extra sound editing for the videos? Maybe some of the background noise can be edited or filtered out that way.
Hi bswtsp21,the sound on this video has been edited to the best of the softwares' ability.Like I explained in the introduction a large quantity of footage was unusable due to the very strong winds.The choice I had was to publish this as it is ,or deny people the chance to see it.Future videos will be shot with a new Gopro 6 and sound will be better due to a wireless microphone.Regards Craig
Coastal Foraging With Craig Evans , I'll take what you film, I know it will get better, from what you say, but I think of the unseen footage!! 😨😊
Good to hear. Consider a really good windshield for the mic. I love your videos but hard to listen to on headphones! :)
bswtsp21 I don't mind the sound makes me feel like I was there
Every time our little friend go near to the crab i was like no no no its painful if that little creature bites u....
"Llew " is very wary of the crabs,he very rarely gets a nip LOL,regards Craig
Oh his name is "Llew"..
Wooohoooo
Thank you Jasfu Wu,regards Craig
awesome video! id recommend getting one of those fluffy wind cancelers for the camera for better sound quality
Hi austalavisty,we did use a "fluffy" wind canceller ,the wind was gusting to 55 knots .Hopefully my new wireless microphone will make a big difference in future,regards Craig
Hey Craig thanks for the quick reply! I guess a tiny piece of fluff cant do much against such strong winds. Personally the wind does not bother me so either way I will continue to enjoy your videos! All the best!
Coastal Foraging With Craig Evans 😊😆
Lol @4:46 the dog took the crab!
Yes Luis,he picked it up,but then put it back,he is just curious,regards Craig
Hey im curious, how long have you been doing this and how old is your dog?
Hi Shadowlag,I've been doing this since a child and Llew is 16 months old,regards Craig
Are you a marine biologist? How do you have such vast knowledge of ocean creatures?
No ,I'm just a very interested amateur with a life long passion Buddy,regards Craig
Well that's news to me never seen a limpet beading down into the rock before. the ones i see grow to conform to the irregular shape of there favourite spot on the rock. animals never cease to amaze me.
I think the "tooth" of a limpet is the hardest organic substance known Nomadic Oasis,regards Craig
can't verify that any better than i can the ossicle of the whale being the hardest known or claimed by folks around here ... but it's interesting. i wonder if these "facts" are scientificly verified, I doubt it. some one out there has probably done the testing though. I like your dogs enthusiasm for critter analyses... Speciality : comparative scent differentiation, with a lickmus test when appropriate. :)
Hi Nomadic Oasis,my information comes from a number of sources,if you google IFLScience.com/worlds strongest natural material/limpet teeth,this should confirm this-interesting reading ,kind regards Craig
actually that was a fascinating article... thanks for sending it my way.
You are very welcome,regards Craig
I have a question. years ago on the internet i found a growing data base that was compiling a searchable collection listing every known animal on the planet & something about each one... it was amazing but i lost how to find it, thought i tried... do you know of it & can you show me how to find it ? I would be grateful. Jared
Sorry Nomadic Oasis,I've not seen that before,but there is plenty of information on line on a species level,regards Craig
Hey Craig, do you do sth. like tours for tourists or work for a nature organisation? again: I am a little jealous, its an absolutely beautifull coast! Greetings Robert
Hi Robert, I am about to start a business offering coastal foraging courses ,my holding page is live but the full service will take around a month to go public,www.coastalforaging.co.uk ,regards Craig
Good job! You have the right spirit to do it and you are also proud of Pembrokshire. I wish you a good start into your new job!
another nice episode by the way its fratts tan i just change my name :D
Thanks again Vonn Khy(Fratts Tan),regards Craig
👍
fine day for it.
It was a nice "fresh " day BrutalTurtle,regards Craig
Mating sea slugs: Can you knock before you lift our rock and take that camera away from my shell
I always cough to give them a warning Lol,regards Craig
Yea wy not!
Olá, vídeo novo ?q bom.
Thank you again Evanilda,regards Craig
hi craig, pa traeth ydych chi yn gwneud rhan mwyaf o eich videos arno?
diolch owain
Bore Da Owain,mae'n dibynnu beth rydwi 'n chwilio amdanno ,ond mae popeth i gael are y traerhau Bae Caerfyrddyn ,hwyl Craig.
Rydwi'n flin Owain----"traethau " Bae Caerfyrddin ,hwyl Craig
hard to see with mutt in the way and hard to hear with all that wind. Other than that good.
It is what it is Michael,regards Craig
Coastal Foraging With Craig Evans I like the way you think.
Please be careful not to drop any boulders onto your pooch's snoz
I'm really careful not to hurt Llew Joe,regards Craig
More video please ヽ(ヅ)ノ
No problem Ding latest,regards Craig
no coccles?!
No not here brostroyer,this is a rocky exposed shore,cockles are found under sand/mud in much more sheltered conditions,regards Craig
Coastal Foraging With Craig Evans Thanks for the reply! Those cockles look delicious👍
I hope to get some cockles along with other things on Sunday when I will make anther video,I hope to publish it on Monday or Tuesday,regards Craig
Whatt no cooking... aww.. like ur messy cooking
Sorry StayAlone Paul,this one was just about the sea life,regards Craig
The videos are great, but the dog is poorly trained.
I'm glad you like them ,but the "dog" will always ,be in them if possible,regards Craig
+Coastal Foraging With Craig Evans Wasn't suggesting you take him out.
