Sightings of one of our rarest, most elusive mammals are increasing in Britain and Ireland. Now, for the first time, readers can directly observe Pine Marten behaviour. Using ingenious photography, this book uncovers their secretive life, revealing how Pine Martens behave and interact with their world.



Offering new insights into how they grow, learn and live, this book delves deep into the secretive behaviour of one of our rarest and most elusive mammals. It covers Pine Marten social interactions, courtship, mating, nesting and kit rearing, feeding and diet, as well as relationships with other wildlife. It also examines the considerable advantages of having these animals around and why it is in our interest to help them.

Pine Martens are slowly starting to increase their numbers and expand their range in Britain and Ireland as conservation efforts help them recover. There are now more sightings, while interest in what these animals do and why is greater than ever. This book uniquely uses photography to show (not tell) the reader all aspects of Pine Marten behaviour – uncovering these mammals' private life and shining light into the darkness of the night. The candid images allow the reader to experience this magnificent animal close up as never before. Aimed at amateur naturalists and experts alike, this groundbreaking book provides fascinating observations and a wealth of information.

Pine Marten is a source of inspiration for anyone seeking to reconnect with the natural world, and has a place on any naturalists shelfprofessional and amateur alike. * Genuine Mustelids * This book is a revelation, explaining everything you ever wanted to know about pine martens... The narrative is written from the authors perspective as an observer, whilst being crammed full of facts, references, and over 200 remarkable accompanying photographs, focusing on pine marten behaviour. The amount of detail is incredible, yet it's a great bedtime read. -- Rowena Millar * Mammal News * The photography is a big seller here, but Dan has added to science with his study of them - you are going to gain a lot of knowledge by reading this book. -- John Miles * Bird Watching Magazine * With many useful photographs as well as QR codes linking to a series of audio recordings, this book is sure to leave readers with an even greater desire to see one of these incredible animals first hand. * Scottish Wildlife * They draw you into their world. Much the same can be said very enthusiastically about Bagurs book, which draws the reader deep into the world of the pine marten... This feeling, that youre reading a book about pine martens not only by one of their foremost experts but by one of their biggest fans, lends a dorky enchantment to the nest-raiding bird-decapitating little darlings. -- Steve Donoghue * Open Letters Review *
