A beautiful early morning sunrise over Glenhurich

I went back to the cottage and crashed out for a while. I awoke around mid-afternoon and set about trying again to watch the Pine Marten in daylight. I had a plan to use my car as a hide... I covered the windows with camouflage material and set myself up inside with the camera positioned at areas in the garden where they had shown up before. Alas, I had been outsmarted again! Clearly I needed to think of a way around this.

Still, the camera trap was proving to be successful so I set about another plan, this time at the base of a tree near to where they emerged at the bottom of the garden. It proved to be the most successful setups with the Pine Marten coming and going all night, sometimes both of them at the same time. I've included some of my preferred photos as a collection below. It was great fun looking back on the camera to see what it had captured over the course of the night...
