Sibling Snuggles
BY KRYSTYNA KEIR,
Black Isle, Highland
“I was in a hide on the
Black Isle, waiting for an
opportunity to see my first ever
pine martens. As mum went
about eating, the kits started
play-fighting. During a brief
pause in their antics, the kits
climbed up onto the fallen
log. It was a short five minutes,
but one of the best wildlife
encounters I’ve ever had.”

Humbug Hides in
the Evening Sun
BY CHRIS POMEROY,
Forest of Dean,
Gloucestershire
“I was eventually able
to build up trust and get
close enough to capture
a humbug (wild boar)
laying almost hidden
among the bracken
in the evening sun.
This piglet is a couple
of weeks old.”
