A couple more of encounters with Pine Marten...

 

Here's another wide angle image, taken remotely using camtraptions gear

Up close to a Pine Cone.

 

Depending on where you live, this time of year the ground might be covered in snow, ice and, most importantly, pinecones! We see pinecones everywhere during the winter—in wreaths, on trees and in our woods. But did you know that pinecones have a vital job? They keep pine tree seeds safe, and protect them from the freezing temperatures during the winter! To protect their seeds, pinecones can close their “scales” tightly, keeping out cold temperatures, winds, ice and even animals that might eat their precious cargo.

Pine Warblers have been here for several weeks now. Areas are starting to turn green and all we need are more migrants coming in.

My never-ending quest to get a decent Pine Warbler photo.

Thanks everyone for viewing, faving, following and commenting on my photos.

Pine Grosbeak on a branch with beautiful light in the background. Just going through a few images from my trip up to Algonquin Park earlier this winter and this image caught my eye!

Thought I'd give the Red Squirrel photos a break seeing as I got back this weekend from a trip to the Scottish Highlands. While there wasn't much snow around the wildlife didn't disappoint. So starting a wintry theme going with these two...

So taking a break from the fox project, I've just got back from a break up in Inverness/Black Isle with the hope of seeing and photographing Pine Marten, Osprey and Red Squirrels.

 

Obviously from this image I succeeded with Pine Marten (thanks to James Roddie's awesome hide on the Black Isle), and I'm pleased to say I had some great experiences with the other two species!

 

So kicking off plenty of photos I'll be sharing over the coming weeks of this trip, here's a couple of Pine Marten images. Easily one of my favourite UK species (if not the favourite).

 

I'm now looking forward to heading to Shetland for two weeks tomorrow - it's a hard life!

Still plenty more to come from the Pine Marten (as well as Red Squirrels :) )!

There were Pine warbler all over the place in the Pine Barrens. I guess that makes sense since there were pine trees all over too. (lol)

 

I hope everyone enjoys this image!

Our feeders are being visited by chickadees, bluejays, greyjays, nuthatchers, woodpeckers, and pine grosbeaks but I have yet to see an evening grosbeak this year?

While visiting the Roman ruins at Italica, Spain, I was fascinated by the combination of palm trees & pines - a mixture that I would never see at home. The morning light was sublime!

Thank you all for the comments 🙏💚 I really appreciate 👍

Pine Siskins can temporarily store seeds

totaling as much as 10% of their body mass in a part of their esophagus called the crop. The energy in that amount of food could get them through 5–6 nighttime hours of subzero temperatures. Pine Siskins get through cold nights by ramping up their metabolic rates—typically 40% higher than a “normal” songbird of their size. When temperatures plunge as low as –70°C (–94°F), they can accelerate that rate up to five times normal for several hours. They also put on half again as much winter fat as their Common Redpoll and American Goldfinch relatives. Thank you for stopping by and looking. Have a great day 😊

Pine Siskin in my yard in Chester County. PA.

 

This photograph was taken a few weeks ago, but after being absent for some time a small flock of siskin briefly visited my yard a couple of days ago. I believe that they have now left for the year.

Where we discovered the processionary caterpillar en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pine_processionary

A misty autumn morning on the lough.

A really pleasant walk in the pine forests of Glen Nevis.

Much preferring to take these type of shots over the more mainstream landscape shots at the moment. Just going out wandering around taking whatever catches your eye.

I've been getting a bit bored and disillusioned with the planned wide vista shots which more often than not end in disappointment when the conditions don't go your way. Don't get me wrong, if a big landscape shot presents itself I'll not refuse it but don't think I'll chase them as avidly as I did.

Icy and snowy twisted pine tree on top of a fell in Lapland, Finland on dramatic overcast winter afternoon.

Thanks for your comments and faves, they are truly appreciated.

No Multi-group invites or large glitter graphics please!

I like the way the fallen pines cross the path between lines of pine trees

It has been years since I last saw a pine siskin ! Felt like a lucky day !! :-)

Captured this shy but very opportunistic fellow chasing off birds for their feed.

Hard to tell if this pine tree was even still alive, hopefully it'll be revitalized next spring.

_DSC3710-ARW - This statue called Pine Sanctuary is located at the entrance to Riverwood in Mississauga (a small conservation area along the banks of the Credit River). It is certainly eye catching with bold light green and cyan colouring although I like the bw image better. I think the bold colours obscure the complexity of the structure to a certain degree.
