Pine martens - aren’t they just beautiful?
A departure from my mountain photography today. I have spent the last six summers photographing pine martens from my tiny hide in the woods near #Inverness in the #ScottishHighlands.
This animal on the right is only 5 months old, leaning up against her mum and having a look around. A magical moment, and one I am privileged to have seen.

There's quite a few of them over here in Luxembourg, where they are considered to be vermin, sadly. This is because they have a habit of exploring the engine compartments of cars and chewing through all the rubber hoses and electrical wiring.
They are regular visitors to our garden although I have never seen one but they tend to mark their territory with faeces and always in the same place, in our case, on the front door step!
