It's about this time of year that young pine marten kits are being relocated from the natal den to new sites. The natural inquisitive nature of the kits often leads them to explore the local area, especially when the mother is away hunting or foraging. If you see one, take care not to disturb it as the mother will most likely be close by and will return the kit to the den. #ardnamurchan #WildAboutArdnamurchan #lochaber #wildlochaber #wildaboutlochaber #visitscotland #myoutdoorcapital #westhighlandpeninsulas #ig_scotland #wildscotland #pinemarten #vincentwildlifetrust #bbcspringwatch #bbcspringwatch2019

this is our favourite sighting from our recent wildlife safari way out west... the caterpillar of the belted beauty moth.

The females look a little like black and yellow striped hairy beetles - real beauties... #ardnamurchan #wildaboutardnamurchan #lochaber #wildlochaber #wildaboutlochaber #visitscotland #westhighlandpeninsulas #myoutdoorcapital #wildscotland #butterflyconservation #beltedbeautymoth #bbcspringwatch @bbcspringwatch
