Loved this today. Marten footprints, the swoosh of it's tail on the snow and a poop to complete it.

Don't hold your breath over ScotGov commitment to research anything. They've supposedly researched Ravens in Orkney after calls for a cull, but no one has ever asked me as county bird recorder for any data. Where else do you suppose they'll do their 'research'? From the farmers calling for the cull?

This is the guy that displaced the little female just earlier.. interesting place now. Don't know either animals.

Sound up! Oooo this is great, the little female trying to ward off a male, don't know who he is. #pinemartens

The little female from the other night that was with Kathy. A young female, must be a sister.😉🤔

Albino Cory sleeping on a leaf. Just nice 🤭

Another nice clip of Kathy, this time hunting an annoying Jay off. #kathypm

Brilliant footage!!!!!! Kathy seems to have a sister... Or a mum, I'll need more footage to clarify. Defo 2 females, Kathy is boss! 2026 what a lovely start.. #kathypm #pinemartens The only feeder I didn't go to today..🙄

I despair!

Saw out the old year in the company of 1,000s of starlings in murmuration. On the other side of the hedge, naturally, but no less impressive. Happy New Year. @rspb.bsky.social

Aww no, we missed seeing 2 martens today in daylight, amazing for this time of year. Kathy and Chaos. We stood for more than an hour but had to leave...🙄 #kathypm #Chaospm #pinemartens

She came in 40 minutes too late for us to watch her eat the egg I'd setup. A Raven spotted the egg but knew we were there.

GOLDEN EAGLE!!!! 2025 out with a bang!👌 carcass cam came good eventually, nothing left for him though. youtu.be/dHPBgMKXOiQ?...

Trump is full of shit.

So, this is Cathy, again in daylight today. She must have a den close by. We watched her in person last week behind a net. I think, we'll go in, sit tight without cover later this week. We did similar last year, a male marten was behind us watching, it didn't put him off going to the feeder.

This little lady doesn't seem to be as nocturnal as any other marten I've ever monitored. I assume she has a hidy hole close by. I've named her CathyB, I'm convinced her mum is MrsB my favourite, and original mum marten🤗 their bibs are very similar!🙄 #mrsbpm #cathybpm #pinemartens

I did get half a dozen reds on the high camera, it took a week.. Not the best footage but a start! #reddeer

Big male, note his rugged looks! Beautiful... 👌 #pinemarten

Merry Christmas to all!🎄 One happy marten on Christmas day.

On Xmas Eve at the dam last year- snow, ice and bobkittens; in 2023 open water & coyote. 🦊🐱❄️🎄 #trailcam #cameratrap #NewEnglandWildlife #MAwildlife #photooftheday #LynxRufus #CanisLatrans

Such a privilege to actually stand and watch her today. She's been coming in most days about 12pm. We got in, set the net up. And waited, 15 minutes it took.. 12.07... We watched for 30 mins, slipped away quietly without he knowing. Perfect all round 👌

We're behind the net right now, watching her😁👌

I love #Ravens🖤🖤 Margaret said to me yesterday, that a Raven was watching me in at the feeder.. here it is checking it out this afternoon!

Remember i made a 12v setup for my Xega. It's been a couple of weeks, the 12v is doing a great job. The solar panel wasn't keeping the camera charged.

Helluva effort to put this camera in today. Red deer hopefully. Might get mountain hares 🤔

You were watching me, madam! Nice..👌

Nice photo this morning #fox

I just happened to look, I saw the marten coming in. I've never timed it this well before. Live just then👌 #pinemartens

A camera i set for stalker friends has been stolen! I got word last night the section is being harvested. I went today, spoke to one of the guys, I think genuinely, he didn't know about the camera. Someone did. 😡 This annoys me, understatement!

A phone memory... I adored my little #lovebird Lairg! 💔

The mouse can't get into the new feeder. I've a couple of weeks to get some nice marten footage, I should have a lot more time to set things up.

Happy with this buzzer, the adult midge just about break out. #flytying

I'm trying to get better at buzzers. I haven't tyed many epoxy ones. Getting there👌 A mix of black and fluorescent red mica mixed with epoxy resin. #flytying

THREE satellite-tagged White-tailed Eagles disappear in suspicious circumstances in England, Wales & Scotland - two tags had been cut off. Press release from Isle of Wight WTE Project Team & additional commentary from me ⬇️⬇️ #RaptorResearch #WildlifeCrime raptorpersecutionuk.org/2025/12/17/t...

1400 photos and this, the first is the only one in focus.😁

Wet as usual! She's enjoying a peanut 🥜 It might be an injury to her muzzle, difficult to see through the water. #pinemartens

Just going through photos at the carcass, I thought this might be an eagle? Probably the female buzzard.🤔

This is as good as it gets! I've monitored #pinemartens for 10 years. I've never captured one grooming so meticulously. Really good footage 👏 I watched this on my phone.

I'll get marten footage soon, I put most of my cameras on the carcass!👌

Last one.. #flytying Black and red muddler. Red organza body, black organza hackle, black hen hackle, mixed deerhair red and black. Red globrite mixed in the deerhair...

#flytying Brown organza body, orange organza hackle then a furnace hen hackle at the front. Brown deerhair head, mixed with bronze flash. Furnace tail.. Nice..

#flytying Lots of experimenting with organza bodies and muddler heads. Looking for next season new flies. I absolutely love this... I won't name any until they've proven themselves..

I used to do a lot of home brewing... I decided to get back into it, this will be my third batch the past 3 weeks, making it right now. Sorted for Christmas and beyond. The dry white is delicious, I've also a red, just about ready to bag! This is the first time I've tried SG👌

She only ventured out at dusk for a quick snack.. the storm has been really bad up here and especially the cameras on that hill. #stormbram

Wow!! Last night’s trail camera picked up a mountain lion and deer facing off.. The puppies found the deer on this morning’s walk in my front yard This is the stare down.. I’ll not be sharing the videos… #nature #montana #mountains #mountainlion #trailcamera #nature

Really good footage! The big female on the carcass is boss, she's been feeding for 6 days. The male only arrived today. He knows his place. #commonbuzzards #buzzards Not eagles so far... #carcasscam #eagles

I'm still playing about with organza... Pale blue organza body, black hen hackle on both, red guinea fowl, fore hackle on the first and blue guinea fowl on the second.. muddler. #flytying

Camouflage clear netting.. It was worth a punt for £12. The side I look through is quite 'clear' the view from the camera isn't as clear. I'm actually quite happy with it. Only a 10 minute test this morning! This is one of my marten sites.
