This video relates to Kyle's blog post 'How To Turn a Weakness Into a Strength' posted on June 19, 2019.

If you haven't read Kyle's blog post, I highly recommend that you do read it soon.

At the end of the post, Kyle asked three questions:

What are some things that feel that you are not good at or could be a lot better at

What are the steps that you are going to take to improve?

Is there anything we can help with on our end (other than advice) to help speed up this process)

In my video, I explain, how I turned a weakness into a strength - Canva. How I am currently strengthening my weaknesses in producing videos and in planning content.

I also managed to track down (it wasn't too hard, they found me) the feral Manx wallabies. They number about 200 individuals running wild around the island in small family groups.

You really are doing it! You seem much more natural in the video outside - you seem to be really getting used to making your videos.
I'm still stuck in the "eeek, I'm talking to a camera" stage.

I had no idea that The Isle of Man had a wild wallaby colony! That is so cool! Okay, I realize there's an argument against non-native fauna but since the wild deer have long since gone, I guess they're filling a niche long since vacated.

Hi Phil,

Thanks for the kind words. It IS much easier outdoors whilst doing something else. I do feel more relaxed. I must try and find the same mental state when sitting in front of the camera.

I think the British got the better deal. We gave Australia, Bull Frogs and Rabbits, and we got Wallabies. The Bull Frogs and the Rabbits are causing massive problems for the Australian eco-system. How it can ever be resolved is a mystery.

After 40 years and a population of around 200 Wallabies hasn’t caused a problem yet. Family groups are spreading outside of the Curraghs and have been seen in the south. What would happen if the population reach 2,000 is anyone’s guess. They’ll probably be ‘managed’ much the sane as Deer are in the UK.

Try making a short outdoor video. You may have a laugh or teo!

All the best,
Paul.
