    We'll look into the history of the island Inchconnachan in Loch Lomond, how these wallabies got there, and try to find them for ourselves.

    There's a good few dozen red-knecked wallabies on Lambay Island off the coast of Dublin also

    Great video, I had no idea Scotland had its own Wallaby community. Hope they're still bouncing about happily.

    I heard about the wallabies when I was a lot younger and like you I went to find them but no.

    Being Ozzie best way to have contacted them would have been start a barbie and get out some beer, they would have turned up no worries

    They are also found in England funnily enough, small populations roam free.

      It’s weird lol as Scotland & England are so cold compared to Australia but if you leave nature to itself then it’ll come on leaps & bounds without man’s intervention

      @@janice506 The wallabies found in the UK are native to the colder parts of Australia and New Zealand, like Tasmania and southern New Zealand, which have identical climates to the UK.

    Thanks mate, as an Aussie, I was interested to know how they ended up there.

      Hi, thanks for your comment! There was a lot of talk about the wallabies being damaging towards the capercaillie, but I've since found out that Capercaillie are extinct on the island already.

      Wallabies are herbivores. They don't eat eggs

    When did you go here. I'm going in early Sept do you think they'll all be gone?

      Did you go? And if so did you see them?

    • @cridhe_
      @cridhe_  Год назад +1

      The later in the year you go the better. The ferns die off and you can see them. In summer they stick to the undergrowth.
