Pine Marten - Martes martes |
|
 Pine martens have been recorded throughout history as the most beautiful of all British mammals, and its fur so soft that kings could only wear it. Pine martens have remarkable speed and agility in the treetops allowing them to hunt and chase down red squirrels. Their taste for game birds and their eggs made them highly unpopular with gamekeepers and so suffered considerable persecution. They are now heavily protected and their numbers are believed to be increasing rapidly in Scotland.
