A rather unnerving and scary night on the wild camp. After the biggest pinkest moon rise I have ever seen, I woke an hour before my (very) early alarm call. Looking outside and I was treated to something I have never seen before- an amazing sight! However things got a little strange and scary after this as I started noticing voices then eyes and barks ! I was a little unnerved until the dawn arrived proper
" boom boom " - this famous quote may explain some of the strange occurrences in the video ;)

Fox warning call. They’re telling each other about the big human on their hill. How very dare he 😂

@scottaforbes Год назад

Fox for sure. Late 2nd litter, I should think with the 2 cubs and the mother calling them

@RS.Outdoors Год назад

Haggis rutting season mate ;) Great trip away as always. Atb

@dawnmason2378 Год назад

Sounds like foxes to me. We hear that noise when we're out camping. Great vid Murray, amazing moon rise 👍

@ibrstellar1080 Год назад

I agree those were horny foxes on the prowl and I was born in the country so it was 100% a fox.

@ScotlandsMountains Год назад

Thanks Dawn - I think you maybe right - no idea why I though wild cats because they miaow and don’t bark 😂 lots of suggestions here but the size and movement and bark make me think foxes 🦊 or maybe alien haggis 😂👍👍

@jamiemorgan4146 Год назад

@@ScotlandsMountains I’m with you! alien Haggis 🕵🏻 It’s amazing what our minds can do to us..

@zatharigo7815 Год назад

absolutely foxes

@Adventure-Outdoors Год назад

Barking Roe deer 100%, you don't hear them bark often and I've only ever heard them bark in Scotland despite working and sleeping in woodlands with large Roe deer populations down here in Yorkshire for years. People are saying it's a fox but a fox bark is just slightly more shrill than a dog bark, quite different to what you are hearing. Great video as always mate 👍

@strathman7501 5 месяцев назад

Looks like noctilucent cloluds, Murray. They're ice crystals in the mesosphere over 80km up and probably form on meteoric dust. Rare and very cool!

@SnoopyLulu Год назад

Sounds like roe deer. Awesome video, those clouds!

@CairnHunters Год назад

If i’m not mistaken, it sounds like it could be the yellow trouser appreciation society. I’m almost certain of it!😀

@ScotlandsMountains Год назад

I think this may be correct and easily the best response yet 😂👌🙌🙌

@drewnicol2455 Год назад

It’s roe deer , they are barking out a warning as they see you. Even more creepy when heard in a forest

Did you ever get the tailgate strut supports for your vw van ???

that what you hear barking it's definitely a deer! awesome vlog again, love the Scottish Highlands!

@demlot4653 Год назад

Absolutely a fox ,had a trainer nicked out of a tent before ,so best to keep them on .

@naturalflow157 Год назад

This is absolutely one of the most peaceful, relaxing, and soothing videos I have seen. Your creativity and spirit is so moving and touching for many of us. I find such inspiration in this because for a few years already I have struggled with my mental health and really slowly I am getting back to things that I used to be able to do with ease. You inspire me a lot and I want to thank you for it. Sending love and wishing you the best on your journey :)

@ScotlandsMountains Год назад

Thank you 🙏 it’s comments from you and like this that make it all worth while for me - hope you get out at some point - take care Murray

@4053rubber Год назад

Just listened to the barking roe deer. Defo has to be that in hindsight lol.

@N3wt199 Год назад

definitely sounds like a fox to me!!

@Texaspatriot7 Год назад

I went back to RU-vid and listened to foxes call or cries and that every bit sounded like fox cubs crying or barking for the parent. It sounded distressed or was a warning. But every bit a Fox. The Roe deer is higher pitch

@ScotlandsMountains Год назад

Thanks - yeah think they were foxes 🦊 I didn’t even think of these at the time as haven’t really come across them in the hills - the other suggestion was badgers 🦡

@adebon8887 Год назад

Brilliant as always Murray! Sounds like Muntjac, had one outside my house a few nights back that I observed from my bedroom window, they have an unbelievable bark in the dead of night.

@allancrawford9979 Год назад

Another vote for Roe Deer, nice trip and thanks for video

@K9OutdoorsSearchTeam Год назад

Fox and fox cubs, hear it very often in my local woods and countryside

@BorderRambler Год назад

Another stunning camp Murray , deffo Roe deer had them on my last camp barking away . Atb Dave

@John71 Год назад

Thank you Murray a lovely video. Definitely young male foxxies. If it had been a vixen you probably really would have thought you were about to be probed and shipped off the planet 🤣 you'll know when you hear a lass.

@russellcrosbie1068 Год назад

It's roe deer to me. I live in Livingston west Lothian and I hear them alot. And Foxes too, what surprises me is that you Murray, who are in the wild all the time have never heard the noise before. Where I Living in a new town in central Scotland hear them a lot . Strange. Nice Noctilucent clouds .

@dontalkt2meboutheros Год назад

Female red deer can bark when they sense a potential danger and they have fawns en-tow. Had one watch, follow and bark at me from the upper slope as I skirted underneath them.

@seantulett917 Год назад

That’s the call of a vixen, we get it all the time on the farm. Great video Murray 👍

i would say foxes, likely with cubs around getting more adventurous by then too

Defo fox. Hear them all the time in my garden at night in Glasgow.

@rodd1000 Год назад

Definitely foxes, have them in the field at the back of me, they often wake me during the night.

I love the sound of the water pouring into your Jetboil can in your videos.

@Kev_Russ Год назад

The Hills have eyes.... And ghostly noises. 👀👻

@haggisdaddy Год назад

The noctilucence isn't actually clouds, they're ice crystals in the upper mesosphere. Can only be seen from late May until around September. This year hasn't been the best for them. I can see them in suburbia outside Glasgow with full light pollution. They are spectacular to see. If you can see North from your house, always look that way during the summer months after the sun has went down. Lovely shots of them.

@ScotlandsMountains Год назад

They were spectacular- dare I say it - even better than the Aurora (at least to the naked eye in Scotland ) - I was very impressed 👍👍

@haggisdaddy Год назад

@@ScotlandsMountains now you've seen them you'll be keeping an eye out for them. I've tagged you on some of my Instagram posts of noctilucence from the past few years.

@peterholmes3011 Год назад

Besides a fox it sounds like a badger. I have met one near the top of Sgiath Chuil so they do go up high.

@ScotlandsMountains Год назад

beginning to think it being badgers now - was the right size , dont think it was deer so maybe badger or fox :) Take care and thanks for watching Murray

You captured the Noctilucent Cloud very well Murray, It was a very bright and extensive display for so late in the season. NLC season usually lasts from late May to mid-August. Mads Peter Iversen did a super youtube video about them last year - uploaded 30th June 2021 :)

@ScotlandsMountains Год назад

Thanks Jimmy - the photos were rather slap dash (in fact the iPhone photos came out better than the camera ones as I messed up the focus on the big camera - was too early and I hadn’t had my coffee - plus there were ghost haggi spooking me 😂👍

Murray. King of the munroes. Its still my ambition to make a video with you. Love watching your vids in my bed at night, love the solo videos. I find it easier filming solo but I have a huge appreciation for company when I go out.

@AndrewMacdonaldPhotography Год назад

Sounds like a fox to me. Those noctilucent clouds were such a treat. I have seen them once before.

@ScotlandsMountains Год назад

I was very impressed with the noctilucent clouds , more than I thought I would be - dare I say it , they are more impressive to the naked eye than the aurora (from Scotland anyhoos);) Take care and thanks for watching Murray

@magentaangel5531 Год назад

Definitely sounds like Foxes, I live very close to the woods and hear that sound all the time, it's even worse when they start screaming.

@tonystrange7224 Год назад

Brilliant video Murray and yep the jumper stopped you looking like Big Bird from Sesame Street 😉😂😂 And seeing Scotland’s mountains against a clear blue sky with not a cloud in sight absolutely stunning. That Moon rise though was on another level. As for the spooky 👻 sounds, Definitely a 🦊 bark. I use to hear them all the time when I worked nights years back. Anyway as always stay safe and until the next one ATB

@ScotlandsMountains Год назад

Thanks Tony, I like the notion of "Big Bird spotted on a Scottish Hill side from space;)" lol - was a bright colour combo (especially with me peely wally white arms show!!lol Take care and thanks for watching Murray

@vr_gamers8116 Год назад

I'm pretty sure that was the same night I cycled through The Sheriffmuir, I saw that moon too, it was indeed spectacular, glad you caught it on video Murray, I also saw plenty of foxes that night, quite a few of them ran out in front of the bike, I ended up camping near Dumyat as it was getting pretty dark but the foxes kept me awake barking most of the night... the hills have eyes lol. ATB.

@smilesandlaughsalot Год назад

Oh my, Murray! You give your viewers such awesome fodder to work with! The yellow (banana) trousers and lime green sleeveless top as a combination were... well... left me speechless to be honest. I think I speak on behalf of all viewers in asking you to get your dear wife to do a wardrobe check before you leave the house in future. Please? Pretty please?? To cap it all of we discovered you've also got arms! Never seen THOSE before! Yellow trousers, lime green top and snow white arms... I had to put my sunglasses on! Thank you though for having the camera zoomed OUT! Another great adventure and a wonderful reminder not to take ourselves too seriously. Take care my friend!

@callummacinnes3677 Год назад

I enjoyed that Murray, was lucky enough to watch the pink moon rising behind the Cuillin a couple of weeks ago. I didn’t manage to get any photos but I doubt that I could have captured how stunning it actually was.

What a fab nrip the moon the sky and what sounded like maybe mountain foxes ? or small deer ??? You need Ben Dolpin to take a lidten he will know for sure what it was ! Thanks for sharing take care : ) Teddy

@macronencer Год назад

What a magical night that was, Murray! I agree with the other commenters, I think those were foxes. They certainly can sound like alien monsters in the night, quite disturbing :) It must have been breathtaking seeing the noctilucence and the moonrise. Wow! I've been hoping for a glimpse of the aurora recently as the sun's quite active at the moment. From Aberdeenshire I've seen maybe a vague green glow to the north, but it's kind of hard to be definite about it. Next time my app alerts me, I might drive up to Portsoy, which is only 30 minutes north of me. Apparently that's a good spot to watch from.

@keithmcshane8005 Год назад

Definitely foxes Murray 👍👏 super video as usual 👌

@rodnell1 Год назад

Great wee pitch, nothing beats watching the moon rise, it's just fantastic. The sound you heard was most probably foxes, I always find there sound quite alarming. On one of our camps I was wakened by the sound of someone passing our tent at 3am , it sounded like very tired heavy feet.kinda startled me, rod never heard anything.Another time on another hill I dreamt an army battalion passed our tent, very cheery and commented on our tent, woke up saying, " was that real", lol .

@greggbrown5155 Год назад

An area in Cumbria not sure where. near a tarn is supposed to be haunted by a marching army

@davidtaylor9198 Год назад

Defo fox. You're in between two so they'll be calling to each other. It's that sound that gave inspiration to banshees in Ireland. Particularly my gran who would wake my grandad up in fear to go outside with the gun and spoke the banshees away during the night

@davieirwin5159 Год назад

Nice one Murray enjoyed that! Was lucky enough to see such a moon two moons running once bivvi on Creise and the next on the Lochnagar round the other week. May have been the same Weekend. Seems like foxes are the concensus but they were certainly spooky! Cheers, Davie. 👍

@cairnscrow8713 Год назад

Roe Deer possibly Munjac but do you get them in Scotland? What is possibly unusual is I've only seen and heard them in or near woodland. Stunning night sky and moon.

@JoshMainka 9 месяцев назад

I was up in the Mournes last year shooting the Milky Way over a reservoir in the pitch black with my head torch off about 3am when I felt a presence next to me. I switched the torch on and shit myself as a fox was standing right next to me, having snuck up like a bloody ninja. When I packed up and headed out I kept seeing its eye shine as it stalked me all the way down the track like I was its prey!! A wee bit unnerving too 😆

@Techtonic77 Год назад

Had the same experience in Assynt. Guttural barking on a ridge above me. Miles from civilisation. Either wild dogs, or barking deer. No threat, but I did hide the food just in case.

@kimmcbirnie5747 Год назад

We get a lot of foxes round us on the Wolds and that is exactly what they sound like. Amazing experience to see their eyes in the dark!

@alcapone6946 Год назад

Great vid Murray. Pink moon looked amazing 😍. I met a family of foxes "off-piste" one night on Ben Aigan. Luckily I had my mtb night light and briefly lit them up like daylight and confirmed it with two 5000 lumen twin lights! They weren't very happy as I must've ventured near their Den I think. This was in the high forest section and the sound was almost identical to this. When the nights are quiet the noise is quite piercing! I was clattering over half buried tree branches making an awful racket so they must've heard me coming from miles away 😂 Viva les pantalon jaunes! 🟨

@ScotlandsMountains Год назад

I am pretty sure it was indeed a family of foxes given the size (they were too small to be deer - hence my initial thought of it being wild cats) - don't think they were too happy at my yellow trousers and tank top combo- reckon that's why they were barking !!;) Take care and thanks for watching Murray
