Pine Marten

Standing tall to check for danger, as it moves through the woodland, and catching the last light of the day too.

These rather charming creatures are very common where I live in rural Luxembourg; so much so that they have achieved the dubious distinction of being considered vermin! The reason for this, is their tendency to explore the under-bonnet space on parked cars and other vehicles and chew through electrical wiring and rubber hoses; not a popular habit!

They are nocturnal visitors to the compost bins in our garden where they forage in the food waste!
