    Well, this one confirms your reputation. To have this crossing your path in daylight definitely is fortunate. Yet you were out there, you can't be fortunate without being in the field often, so hats off to you.

      I've always wanted to see this marten , 7 years ago I've seen one in Almere on a great distance, that was the first find for that area , so with this find I could consider myself lucky. Posted 5 years ago
