Welshrare kits

摘要

I'm heading over to the Elan Valley this morning. I'm tired but happy, despite the fug of endless mist and drizzle. I'm cheerful because the previous day, for the fifth day in a row, we failed to catch one of our pine martens. This might seem odd, given that our aim is to catch her. But it never fails to improve my mood when I take a step back and appreciate the point we've reached in our work for the Pine Marten Recovery Project.It was less than a year ago that we translocated 20 pine martens from Scotland to Wales and spent a thrilling, anxious winter tracking their movements and fretting over their fate. We've learnt an awful lot during the past 10 months: where they den, their home-range behaviour, how far and fast they can move, and much more. In truth, though, we've only glimpsed mere fragments of their lives.
