The Return of Master Marten?
by admin - 23:17 on 05 June 2011
Could it be? Is Master Marten back in the grounds of The Rural Retreat?
Our visitor was spotted on the garden gate around 9pm so even at ISO 800 the shutter speed was slow. However, the results were clear enough for me to see an erratic whisker just like the one Master M had last year.
The pattern of three dots on the side of his bib was also similar but I couldn't get a comparable snap.
Whoever he was, he seemed at home and unfazed by Bess who watched him from the comfort of the nest she's created beneath the kitchen window. He didn't eat all the goodies, and ignored an egg and The Nutella Tree, but I'm sure he'll be back for more tonight or in the early morning.
Perhaps I will have another chance of an award-winning marten snap after all.
