hi guys, im new to this forum so hoping ive posted this in the right place and that theres not another thread drifting around like this.

im developing a study to look into variation in faecal hormone concentrations in the scottish population of pine martens. at the moment im trying to identify small, local areas in Scotland where there are frequent and reliable pine marten sightings or scat deposits. i was hoping that your kind selves may be able to help me build up a better picture of small scale distribution with your own sightings or experiences.

thank you so so so so much

Have you contacted Scottish Nature?

repeatedly, via email, phone and telepathy (it might have worked!?) but to no avail as yet. it has left me slightly grumpy but i do continue pestering. x

Have you tried the Vincent Wildlife Trust as they have been researching pine martens for about 30 years Pine Martens - The Vincent Wildlife Trust
