They are great little guys. Went on an organised nature walk one day few years back as they advertised that they had a hide and often seen them.

We seen squirrel, fox, birds galore, otter, hare, rabbit, even a cat!! They all got excited about the otter (as did I) but not one PM did we see. Even tho' the guy said they see them almost every time.

Typical - CM

Thanks for posting that link Tink. Yes, they are super creatures. I see that vid was taken in Aspen. I believe that pine martens in UK are only found in Scotland. I have never seen them live.

Really - no I never knew that. Suppose when you think about it, it makes sense.
