Pine marten; art byRobert E Fuller

I was talking to a local farmer who is doing his bit for red squirrels. There are less 'greys' around and he is sure he saw a pine marten one evening. Good news for the South Cumbria Pine Marten Recovery Project.

In Cumbrian dialects, 'sweet-mart' is pine marten.
