Pine Marten

Descending from the Antrona pass through the Furggtal in a larch wood we saw two Pine Martens in a tree close to the path. The first one saw us and made a break for it jumped out of the tree across the path and ran off into the forrest. The second one stayed in the tree for a while, clearly wanting to follow his friend but unsure of us. They move so fast its difficult to get a shot and this was about the only useable one. I backed away from the tree a bit and eventually he plucked up the courage to jump down and shoot across the path to join his mate. Fantastic to see them this close up in the wild.
