Taken for 'The Sunday Challenge': "Mushrooms/fungi"

This wasn't the image I'd intended, but once I'd finished the original shoot decided to cook and eat the props, and ended up with a better image, very tasty they were too.

Season's Greetings

Hope 2022 turns out to be a better year than 2021, and 2020.

A happy sunny scene to mark the return of Ipernity !

Tuesday was the first sunny day in ages, and everyone I met on my walk seemed really happy and had big smiles on their faces, wonderful what a bit of decent weather can do :)

Dawns can be every bit as spectacular as sunsets, and at least now that we are in September in northern Scotland, you do not need to be up at 4 a.m. to catch them!

There was a flock of magpies on and around the two ponies this morning - offering a tick-clearing service?

Maddeningly he/she does not keep fixed mealtimes, so it is serendipity whether visitors are able to see the Pine Marten or not, despite visits occurring several times a day!

An elusive Mustelid, the pine marten is mostly found in the north of the UK, particularly Scotland. It prefers woodland habitats, climbing very well and living in tree holes, old squirrel dreys or old birds' nests. It feeds on small rodents, birds, eggs, insects and fruit, and can even be encouraged to visit birdtables laden with peanuts and raisins. During the summer mating season, they make shrill, cat-like calls. The following spring, the female will have a litter of between one to five kits, which are independent by autumn.
How to identify
Mostly chestnut-brown in colour, the pine marten has a characteristic pale yellow 'bib' on its chin and throat. It has a long, bushy tail.
Distribution
Mainly found in Scotland, particularly in the Highlands, and Ireland. Populations in North England and North Wales are fragmented and small.
Habitats
Woodland
Did you know?
Bilberries, Rowan berries and Blackberries make up much of a pine marten's summer diet, often resulting in its 'scats' (droppings) turning blue or red in colour. Pine martens regularly leave their scats on forest trails or in prominent places like boulders to mark their territories. When they are fresh, scats may have a slimy appearance due to mucous binding them together. They may contain fur, feathers, bones or seeds.
