With its brown and cream buff fur the Pine Marten, Martes martes, or Sweet marten certainly looks every bit as sweet as its name in the morning sunshine. Populations of this European member of the weasel family are growing in Scotland and its wonderful to see one on the ground, as they are usually found in woodland and are as nimble as squirrels. Each Pine Marten has its own unique bib design and is around the size of a domestic cat.
