Searching for Pine Martens In The Scottish Highlands

Join me for a trip to the Scottish Highlands in search of the elusive Pine Marten! With poor weather in Lancashire I decided to head off to sunnier shores, namely Scotland!! I've got unfinished business with the Pine Martens, after an unsuccessful trip trying to photograph them a few years ago. I've been desperate to see if I could capture some images of these amazing mammals, so I grabbed the opportunity to head up to the Scottish Highlands for a few days to give it another shot!
Ordinarily I would be pitching a tent in the woods or car camping but when the offer came in for some more luxurious accommodation, I jumped at the chance. Join me as we head to the Highlands for what turned out to be a most spectacular trip!!

  • Am finding these days Simon, spending more viewing hours watching well produced videos on U-tube like this than the "pap" mainstream T. V. is serving up. Keep up the good work. 👍

  • Many years ago I stayed in a remote cottage in Scotland. On the window ledge outside the cottage we were told if you put an egg or some other food Pine Martens will come and if you are still and lights out watch them through the window . To my delight we were visited by one or two every night and from the comfort of the sofa , just the other side of the window we watched from inches away while these amazing animals came to feed.

The tree the 2 of them climbed the log on the wall a few titbits it was like a school playground for kids. I swear they where looking straight into the lens all the time and thinking “ I know your in there hiding I can SMELL you you daft bugger. Then the other one says “ ignore him let’s go and play on this tree that grew over night. Yeah he thinks where stupid like that but I bet I can climb up that tree faster than . Lol As I said I am 63 and only seen them on tv I did not know they where in our woods. Thanks for the educating and such wonderful footage Preston’s new Mr Attenborough. Ray.

  • Superb footage of the Red Squirrel and Pine Martins - no wonder you were so pleased and the placing of the perches was well worth it. It was great advice about the cut ends of perches. I must admit, I fell foul of that when I first started out doing wildlife photography, it can totally destroy a decent image of your subject. The new hide looks great but that pod looks absolutely awesome.

    • @@simoneardley Hi Simon, I love the Z9, I actually have two of them. My husband got one but his lights wouldn’t work so I kept it as my back up. I only wish it was a little lighter to carry. I have always loved my 500pf even before the Z9 so that was my Z9 lens of choice. (Even though I had purchased the 400mm 4.5z lens.) The 500pf had to go to the shop, I was devastated, then I remembered I could get the 400mm 4.5z out of the box and use it in the mean time. Well I absolutely love that lens with the 1.4z TC. That combo lives on the Z9; my 500pf was back from the Nikon shop in about two weeks and haven’t even used it. Awesome lens and a bit lighter than the 500pf. Looking forward to your next video!

  • Wowsers! That's some priviledged footage, like buses you wait nearly 3 years then 3 come at once. Ha! I notice you're virtually at 15k subs now Si. Maybe a subscriber giveaway, something small but rarer that Martens....say a calendar or something. Stay lucky mate, you're really smashing it out the park of late. Sod the badgers!

  • Found your vlog a few weeks ago Simon and it's an inspiration. You put the hours in but always look like you're having the time of your life. Great images and love the nod to Eric & Ernie too. Would be interested in finding out where you found the hen harriers on Mull as I was there in April but no luck. Got some great white tailed eagle and otter shots but back next June so fingers crossed. Any advice would be appreciated. Keep up the great videos.
