😂😂 I know can you imagine. Think I’ll need to camp closer to the water and do a night shift tho. Ha good craic! Glad you enjoying them Fiona. Send your requests in if you’re missing anywhere I can reach. Nice you messaged👍 Ix
@tezzah... I know, I will. I'll need to read up to find out when is the best time to look for them, I was there in July and I thought that would be for sure when id see one. Need to camp out at a place they are spotted at, Ive seen videos of one in Benbecula, they return to the same places so surely I can see one! I'll update here WHEN I do ha. Oh thanks again for messaging and enjoying my videos, have a lovely Saturday. 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
@brucemcintosh7466 👋🏻 Yey it’s good, phew. Me and my ‘dead cat’ going around the Western Isles haha everyone looking at me thinking what on earth is she doing😂 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
@vivellasmum, haha I wonder what I'll be next, South African?!! 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
@@IonaMacinnes I hate to tell you but my friend Sarah was there in May...and saw a corncrake! I'm your biggest fan 😉 You're showing me all the places I want to go with my daughter, we WILL do it!
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. 🙏👍
Hi Iona, yet another lovely video and I'm not getting the wind so much anymore, thanks for asking.....Oh and your new mic seems to work well too...😂 I know it's not the same but I hope you like this one....ua-cam.com/video/cPDOM6rPYNs/v-deo.html
Great video Iona - so easy to watch - cannae wait for yer reaction when you finally catch sight of an otter 😁

Lovely, a fun video, thank you. Fingers crossed re the mic, the first impression is good.
@uffo200 thank you for messaging, glad you enjoyed it. Yeah it’s really needed filming around the Scottish Islands for sure. Ix

Beautiful video, You'll have to return again and see a Corncrake another day, I'm so envious of where you live..
