Islay in the Wild Wood

Another dog day, hurrah! Early morning walk along the riverbank, and I heard from a walker that an otter had been seen quite near the Pollok House weir. I was reminded again of Portly the lost otter in the Wind in the Willows (from where the title of todays blip comes) and I have secured, from eBay, a copy of the 1995 DVD with Alan Bennett (mole) Michael Palin (Ratty) and Rik Mayall (Toad), I watched it on YouTube yesterday but it was a bit blurry, hoping that the dvd wool be clearer.
