  1. With the lighter nights coming in, crepuscular species like the Pine Marten can be glimpsed and sometimes passable photos can be obtained. This shot was at 8pm one evening in an old friends (huge) garden where he had Red Squirrels as well as the Martens visiting. #Nature #Wildlife #WildlifePhotography #PineMarten #Mustelid #Scotland

  2. CW: Mummified Mustelid

    Why do I keep finding corpses around here.

    This guy has obviously been dead for some time, stuck inside the straw insulation of an old livestock shack I'm taking apart.

    Probably one of the local pine martens. Looks like it wasn't a peaceful death.

  3. One cannot be fooled by the Pine Marten’s appearance, for these carnivores are quite ruthless. They administer a quick and powerful bite to the back of the neck of whatever prey they can catch. #wildlife #pinemarten #algonquinpark #nature frametoframe.ca/pine-martens-d

  4. A Tale of Two Pine Martens. This was our first time witnessing a territorial chase where one Pine Marten challenged another to see who would control the surrounding turf. frametoframe.ca/a-tale-of-two- #nature #wildlife #algonquinPark #algonquin #pinemarten

  5. For this weekend's photo we return to Scottish Wildlife with the Pine Marten. Such an enjoyable animal to watch. They are so intelligent and full of life.

    From another morning visit. This time in sunshine!

    I miss that cottage now. Beautiful views out on to a loch, and very obliging wildlife, even in the garden.

    Currently staying in a cottage out on the west coast of Scotland, and we've been surprised by the pine marten, visiting mid morning as well as after dusk.

  10. Pine Marten

    A close encounter from a couple of weeks back. Such a treat to be able to observe these creatures in the wild.

  11. Pine Marten

    Despite spending a few hours in the hide since returning home, I've not had any more fortune with this individual in the woodland.

    There's now a second pine marten visiting, which has been picked up on the trailcam we have up there.

    Hoping for some drier weather later this week, to put some more time in, and hopefully meet the newcomer...

    Standing tall to check for danger, as it moves through the woodland, and catching the last light of the day too.

    A few more images of this beautiful creature that has been visiting the woodland hide, here in the Scottish Highlands.

  14. Pine Marten

    A portrait of the individual that is calling by the "red squirrel" hide, in search of the food put out for them.

    Needless to say, we've been adding to the food, so this gorgeous character has a supply too.

  15. Your Questions Answered: #Wolfden’s Proposed #PickettMountain #Mine

    September 27, 2023

    "An untested and underfunded company called #WolfdenResources has submitted a second rezoning petition to the Land Use Planning Commission (#LUPC) to allow for the development of a zinc mine near #PickettMountain in the #Katahdin region. The Canada-based exploration and development company focused on metallic mining deposits was forced to withdraw its first application in 2021 because it was riddled with errors.

    "The proposed mine has been identified by the LUPC as an 'issue of statewide concern' and has attracted a lot of attention because of its location just miles away from #BaxterStatePark and #Katahdin Woods & Waters National Monument.

    "Here are some answers to frequently asked questions that have arisen as people seek to better understand what is being proposed.

    "What is the potential impact on local wildlife and fisheries?

    "The location of the proposed mine is directly adjacent to some of the state’s best habitat for #BrookTrout and #AtlanticSalmon. It is next to three State Heritage Fish Waters and contains the headwaters of the West Branch of the #MattawamkeagRiver, which is federally designated critical habitat for endangered Atlantic salmon. The #PenobscotNation and other organizations have worked hard to restore habitat for Atlantic salmon and brook trout in Maine. #Mining pollution could reverse this progress.

    "The mine would destroy critical habitat for threatened #CanadaLynx and habitat for other iconic Maine species, such as #moose and #PineMarten.

    "What is the significance of the area surrounding the proposed mine site to Wabanaki tribes?

    "The Katahdin region and #PenobscotRiver #watershed are sacred to #WabanakiTribes. The tribes have an intimate cultural and physical relationship with the land and water, which continues today through traditional practices such as sustenance fishing and hunting. The location of Wolfden’s proposed mine is near several important tribal trust lands.

    "The tribes also have a close connection to Atlantic salmon and have long worked to recover habitat for the species. The proposed mine would be located in critical habitat for endangered at Atlantic salmon and would endanger that progress."
