Pine Marten Duo

            I'm just back from a trip up north to the Black Isle in Scotland to James Roddie's hide. Originally I'd planned to go at the end of June, but due to COVID lockdown restrictions I had to cancel. Fortunately I was able to postpone to the end of July to spend 3 days in the hide.

It was supposed to be a trip with a friend of mine, but given social distancing we were unable to go together and so it became a solo camping trip.

I have a real fascination with Pine Marten and was hopeful to get up to Scotland at some point this summer to see them. I'm hoping to spend more time in Ardnamurchan again (perhaps next year) but camping surrounded by midges there didn't appeal this time around!

I was really hoping to see kits having only ever seen them at night before. They were showing regularly at James' hide so I went with eager anticipation. It wasn't until my third and last day, right at the end of the day (8.30pm) that one visited with her mum. The kit is actually on the left, having outgrown his (suspect he's a male) mum already! Amazing to see and I was chuffed to bits!
