CAUGHT IN THE ACT
The Rural Retreat's visiting pine marten returned tonight, tempted by more free Nutella. Isn't he a beauty? (Or she, if there are any experts reading who know the difference.)

Although his snack was put out at 7.30pm he's already established a routine that brings him here after nine, which is a nuisance as far as light levels are concerned. I had to shoot at 3200 ISO to get a decent shutter speed and that's made the result a bit grainy.

Never mind. I'll be waiting again tomorrow. If I put the Nutella out around 5pm he might pay a call while there's still good light.

Tasty stuff this Nutella

Matchgirl Update: The traveller is enjoying her walking weekend in Shetland where the weather, it seems, is again glorious and the island an idyll. Happy days.
