Love that pine marten doc. Very jealous. I often wonder if people who have much rarer garden visitors ever take them for granted, or if they thank their lucky stars every day
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
A few poorly zoomed pictures courtesy of my iPhone 6 at the British Wildlife Centre in Surrey.. highly recommend. The native wildlife in our country is underrated.
Really gorgeous Mark. You're right - we have a wealth of fabulous wildlife here. I think it's sad that so many people never experience it for real, but at least with places like that, it gives them a taster, and will maybe prompt them into exploring their surroundings more.
Lovely photos Bob. The frosty goldfinches would have made a lovely card! I was lucky enough to get a couple of nuthatches appearing regularly in my garden last winter. They're not common in Scotland, so I'm hoping they keep visiting again this winter. We have a small National Trust garden nearby, so they're probably resident in there.
Cracking red squirrel pic doc. I've posted this before, but this one was waiting in a tree as I headed off to do Beinn Dearg in Blair Atholl two years ago.
Little juvenile wren has been visiting recently so I managed to get a couple of pix. They were through the kitchen window, so not brilliant. Enjoyed watching his/her antics, especially the day it was tussling with a worm in among the hedging along the boundary fence

Not my photo, taken by Ian, who runs a wild life spotting boat out of Gairloch.
Taken in his garden. Lucky so and so.
