Good isn't it! My brother painted Cathy from the photograph I took this week. #cathypm #photography #art

Another go at a shrimp! Much better attempt. Gammarus pulex . #flytying

A fresh water shrimp for brown trout. I've never tried to tye or fish shrimp for trout. The trout from my favourite loch, have deep orange flesh they're clearly feasting on shrimp. Only realised they can grow to 25mm. That's a mouthful. #flytying

Purly out if interest! Anyone else make Kefir? I have been for 3 months.. it's made a big difference to me.. #kefir

Aurora, but it's too cloudy.🙄

Peanut 🥜 🥜 Cathy, yesterday watching us but not put off.

Cathy from yesterday. #cathypm

Chaos and a female, obviously she's another partner or his kit?🤔 He submits to her. She must be another of his dominant females, Cathy being the other that I know of. #chaospm

My mind is blown! #catypm #photography

Just the best! I didn't know Margaret was capturing me and Cathy eye to eye. See how close we are.😉 I was taking proper photos of her... 40 minutes we'd the pleasure of her company before leaving her to it. #cathypm

One more Raven video! These clips are all from this morning. They have treated me to their presence for over an hour this morning,happy just to relax and chat! And they chose cake over suet 🤣🤣

She's taking a drink from the stream, between eating a peanut and growling at me🤭😁 I better make this the last photo.😋 #cathypm thank you!

Stunning isn't she! Cathy. ##cathypm

Cathy with the death stare... she kept growling at me😁 but it didn't put her off coming in.! #cathypm

I mean.... What a half hour I had, going on darkness! No hide, just me sitting 20 feet away on a log. I was shaking with excitement. I might actually turn into a proper photographer 😄 I've some more photos and I'm going to share them🤭 #cathypm

Same young male marten, a bit close to the camera but you can see the scratch better here.

I really like this photo of a male marten, he looks moody as hell. A young guy, same one that was at the carcass i think.

You won't see a worse photo today, but it's a goshawk my god! 1st photo on my new canon is a goshawk unbelievable! I was standing at my martens when I heard a gos, they passed overhead. I don't have the proper lens and it was nearly dark. Still, I'm delighted 😊 #goshawk

It's wild up on the hill just now!

Gentle as you like, Cathy! We missed you by 1 hour. We stood for 30 minutes... #cathypm

Cathy desperate to take two eggs 🤭 I left them out because ravens were hanging about.. they didn't get a chance... #cathypm took the lot.👍

I went digging on my phone for one of my favourite eagle clips.. She's eating a roe deer head😋 I hope to get a carcass soon to do it all again. #goldeneagles

Jay and Sparrowhawk at it this morning! Nice clip. #sparrowhawk #Jay

Sorry Cathy... The van battery died, see ya tomorrow! #cathypm

Renee Good’s murder was not just a homicide, it’s a hate crime against women, called femicide. Good told ICE, "That's fine, I'm not mad at you" and was shot 3 times in the head point blank, Ross yelled the misogynist slur, "fucking bitch" after killing her. #3E #endimpunity

Remember carcass cam..? This male marten found something to eat after a month🤢 I expected a marten to find it much sooner, they did eat from there before. #pinemartens #carcasscam

That's my furry friends taken care of for a while 12.5kg of dates. Really delighted to give this company a shout out. Healthy supplies. They're clearly doing good work...

I just had a peek just now, for the hell of it and saw the eyes up the tree. Interesting just to watch from afar what I wouldn't normally see. I don't know why she was up there. Maybe a male about. I think this is Katy. #katypm

It's telling, isn't it, that Protection Officers are still required for Hen Harriers in northern England. Good opportunity here for some important raptor conservation fieldwork. Closing date for applications: 30 Jan 2026. #RaptorResearch #WildlifeCrime raptorpersecutionuk.org/2026/01/07/j...

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 👌
