Pine Marten

Our cottage for the week is visited regularly by pine martens. The owner provided a recipe for the food they like. After our first evening one or more came every night, but it wasn't until this day that one turned up in the daylight.

I'm unsure just how many there were: at least two from their size, but one came back repeatedly, claiming that it hadn't been fed. It wasn't until the last evening, when one apparently polished off two bowls of food within an hour, that I began to suspect there were at least three with similar markings.

They were quite tame, and my extra shows one right beside the window.
