A new Mammal caught on Camera.

I was sat in the lounge watching some TV when I heard a couple of bangs from on the terrace, suspecting it was going to be a ******* Cat I put the Camera on and checked.

I was very pleased I did as I soon realised it wasn't a Cat, so I followed the Marten type animal as it searched for food on the terrace and as I came down the steps to the back Kitchen door I was able to watch it with my own eyes before it dropped down into the Garden.

After a bit of checking I am now fairly sure it was a Beech / Rock Marten (Martes foina) the first one I have seen alive and not as road kill, very happy.
