I'm not sure of the best place for this but I'm sure the bird watchers will know the answer. There is a connection as this animal eats birds.
While driving in thick mist late on wednesday night, I think we were in the woody section between Altnaharra and Laig, I had to do a emergency stop to avoid a large black animal in crossing the road. We had a good chance to have a look at the creature as it came to a stop as well. I've checked out our animal books and a few websites and I'm fairly sure that it was a Pine Marten. Can anyone tell me what is the typical concentration of the Pine Marten up here. Were we very lucky to see one, or are they normally shy and well hidden?
Thanks for any info.:cool:
