Wild marten!

Was thrilled to get these shots today. Usually these little guys are GONE as soon as they see a human, but this one kept popping out from behind the snowbank to check us out.

Thanks. I'm glad he was inquisitive enough (and brave enough!) to stick around for a few minutes.

nicely captured

Congratulations on a couple of nice shots. Marten are not all that elusive, however; those that I've run across have been quite approachable. And with a little work, they can easily be hand fed.

Hand fed?? Wow!

great captures

Love the first one. I've never seen one of these before.

How cute!! Well done to get these.

Definitely cute. You'd never know there was an efficient predator underneath.

Wow these are great. Martens are very very elusive in the UK, I've never seen one.

Wow great shots! You were really lucky, I think he was posing.

Great shot!

Looks like a cheeky little fellow Nice pics!

Great captures Soren, they are cute little buggers. He looks quite inquisitive, yet shy by the way he's hiding behind the snowdrift. They are images you certainly don't see very often and you certainly got very lucky!
