Monday evening, purely pine marten. At 8 pm we went up to the (Laurie) Campbell hide, and, once Ruth had placed some strategic honey and peanuts, waited in absolute silence for 50 minutes, at which point a young pine marten appeared, well accustomed to feeding here. He (or she) stayed for about 25 minutes.
One of our number had a coughing fit and we feared this would drive the pine marten off. But he was not fazed at all. On the other hand he really started when a jay flew close by him. Fortunately he decided to stay, to our great pleasure.

I wasn’t the only one who wanted to pick it up and cuddle. Lovely soft fur apparently – but teeth as well!

It was a lovely end to a fantastic day. The others will not be recounted at such length!

What a treat. Was Laurie Campbell there? He often visits Langholm.

No, but he was one of the tutors on the course I was on previously – with evident lack of long-term effect.

I was on a very short course with him too but with the same result.

As you say.
This made me think of an experience in the north of Tasmania.
