      @uffo200 thank you for messaging, glad you enjoyed it. Yeah it’s really needed filming around the Scottish Islands for sure. Ix

    We stayed at Balranald for 4 nights at start of summer. What an amazing place. We heard plenty corncrakes, but never did see any. Will need to try again.

      How come we can’t see them, they’re like the otters🙈🤣. What kind of weather did you have? Yes you need to come back and try again, but I’m glad you heard them, that’s pretty cool. I think I’ll need to sit out for a day, wonder when they go back to Africa tho, I’ll need to check. Ix

    Yayyy the wind mic! YES it makes a huge difference, less music now lol. That was a fab video, you do crack me up 😂 Corncrake crossing and you stopped, how rude it didn't cross! As for otters..... well I reckon they have put word about about you & your camera, island telegraph 🤣 My mum thinks you're American (she's 93, I think it's the old folk 😉) so you have been USA, Welsh & Irish. They all want their ears syringed and of course US accent IS made up of Scots/Irish/Dutch etc!! That's what my mum's hearing! Can't wait for your next one. xx

      Hi Vivellasmum's mum, thanks for watching my antics and seeing a wee bit of the Scottish Isles. Nice to have you here watching along. I believe you're right re the otters, hilarious!! Ix

      No way!!! Aw man alive lucky her. I think I’ve missed the window now, they’ll be away to Africa soon but I’ll need to check. Ha brilliant, you’ll have a great time.
      After our week of greek islands we are going to Mull and Iona, super excited about this one! Ix

    Balranald nature reserve looks like a nice place but it's a shame you didn't see a corncrake, maybe next time. You can still hear the wind with the mic but it wasn't as loud, or was the wind dying down? Great sharing Iona. 🙏👍
