We have had this wonderful house on the West Coast of Scotland for 6 years now. We were told that the pine marten who visited the garden regularly liked jam sandwiches and would appear at dusk usually. Amazingly we did catch a glimpse on the first night we stayed here.
As we are not here all the time we thought that it was asking a lot for us to keep the relationship going and we didn't actually see him for the next five years, although something ate jam sandwiches regularly so we guessed there was one still about.
For the past year , however, we and other visitors have had regular sightings. Yesterday afternoon, there he (or she) was, enjoying the remains of the sandwiches left by the birds. This is not the best photo ever taken of a pine marten. As it was taken through a rainy window in poor light, I think it will do.
