I liked notpop's idea about a Deer section so how about a Pine Marten section for you cams of pine martens?

Hi NellyDee, Never seen a pine marten but they are now being reported in Southern Scotland so I live in hope. Am I right in thinking they have staged a strong recovery of numbers in recent years ?

Interesting report recently which said where pine martens are doing well so to are the red squirrels which is good. I think the pine martens find the greys easier to catch.

Just thought I'd share. We have quite a bit of snow now and caught on camera last night were these two pine martens, one of which was having a right roll around and slide along in the snow. I'd like to think it was having a game, but it was probably some sort of marking going on.

Great to see these! I wouldn't be surprised to hear of pine martens playing, after all otters are well known for it. Our snow froze overnight so very wintry here today, lots of red squirrels and various birds, but alas, no pine martens! (I keep hoping . . .)
