Red face ISLE OF COLL - Saying Hello

Hi everyone and Seasons Greetings to you.

My home is on the Hebridean Island of Coll, which is close to Mull and Tiree.

Coll has amazing wildlife, rare birds such as the Corncrake and in summer we are visited by the huge, but very gentle Basking sharks.

I will try to do a slide show for you. I managed to capture some photos of Twites, quite close really considering I had two dogs with me !!

Anyway, just saying hello and hope you like the slide show !!

Think I will have to put this in the image gallery, sorry !! very new to this !!

Hi Squidgy. Welcome to WAB.

Unfortunately at the moment you wont be able to load a slide show as such. You can of course load individual images, either to the main Galleries or if you want to use them immediately, in the Forum Gallery which isn't moderated. If the images are good quality and you know the id then we'd prefer them in the main galleries.

Re: ISLE OF COLL - Saying Hello

Hi, thank you for that advice. Will sort out some good quality photographs and post them on the gallery.

Not sure how to get to the forum gallery, can you point me in the right direction??

My slide show can be seen in BBC Island Blogging. Am I allowed to say this?

Many thanks
