River Severn Glass Eels (abandoned and left to perish) Millions of critically endangered baby eels die every year, trapped by man-made barriers in the River Severn while authorities look the other way. Against all odds, they complete an extraordinary journey—only to perish at the final hurdle. Driven by instinct, under moonlit waters, one of nature’s most remarkable migrations unfolds: the glass eel migration. But for many, it ends before it truly begins.

There were no 4K cameras back in 2009. We shot everything on a HD camcorder and usually called it “XTREME HD” since High Definition was still pretty new. 🎥 A video of the swimming Ursula’s eels, Tick Tock crocodile & Pinocchio scene 🐊 🔥 🐉 🐍

River Lampreys (Lampetra fluviatilis) at Annacotty Weir on the River Mulkear, Co. Limerick. These lampreys are on their upstream spawning migration, but they cannot get past this barrier. On suitable nights, they repeatedly attempt to find a way over the obstacle, and this can continue for months. The survivors will spawn in the spring downstream of the weir. Lampreys are poor swimmers and cannot jump like salmonids or climb like eels. As a result, even relatively small barriers in rivers can block their migration. River Lampreys are now absent from most of Ireland due to migration barriers in the lower reaches of rivers. Lampreys are fascinating creatures and are critical ecological components of aquatic ecosystems, contributing significantly to biodiversity. They evolved over 350 million years ago, before the dinosaurs. We need to put measures in place to conserve and protect these fascinating and valuable “living fossils”.
