This is excellent news  .
I wonder how long they will take to reach Essex  .
I think I will be travelling to Scotland to watch and photograph them for a while yet!

Richard | Richard I love your pics of the Pine martens, especially the first one, cracking pics! I'm still hopeful of seeing one! Am I right in thinking that dusk and dawn are the best times to see one? I've heard there is a hide in Aviemore where they can sometimes be seen, but I don't know where it is. If you know, but don't want to say on a public forum you can pm me re this.

I thought that strawberry jam sandwiches and peanut butter were a major part of the Scottish pine marten diet? |

Possibly included in the "fruit and nuts" percentage?!? |

Tracey | Hi Tracey
Thank you for your comments.
The first photo was taken here .... Speyside Wildlife
The second photo was taken from the window of a chalet here .... Birchbrae
I have to say these were easy sightings but I have seen a few more brief sightings of Pine Martens in the Scottish Highlands mostly early in the morning or late in the evening.

Fauna, thanks for that I missed it.
As the VWT pointed out some years ago, it could be very important to find this sort of thing out before anyone starts a re-introduction scheme. |
