Pine Marten in the Rain

 


Something I have always wanted to photograph was pine martens in the rain. I have tried a couple of times in the past, but never been too successful. Last week for one day we had a downpour, we couldn't get too much done job wise at work, but were still here due to the visitors. Having just done the pine marten talk and seeing Dani soaking wet I thought I would give it another go!..

She was not very cooperative :-) So I headed over to my mate Drogo, and spent half hour with him in the pouring rain. He was up anyway and already drenched, he could go back to his nest boxes at anytime he wanted, but just enjoyed playing in the rain with me. 

Thirty minutes later, soaked to the bone, but it was worth it. I got some photos I was very pleased with.
