A big male right on the tail of one of the females this afternoon. I don't recognise his bib, but he knew to check the feeder.🤔
Maybe just the angle that's throwing me..

Black hoppers have been one of our best flies for 30 years. I did a muddler version today, I've never tried/tyed them before. I Really like these.. 12, 14, and 16's. The hoppers fish great when black midge are hatching.

I intentionally stopped naming my martens, it's difficult when they stop visiting 😢
I'll make an exception, i shall name him Chaos.
After a malamute that befriended me while we met, walking in the woods. He passed away in the summer 😭
The dominant male, Chaos👇

First in, chose a peanut 🥜 over sunflower hearts and dates.
I'd love to sit in there with my IR goggles on, but can't, yet!

The Xega is charged to 100% let's see what happens now..
After attaching an external 12v battery. 🤞

Lots of claims and counter claims at the feeder.💩💩

This Xega's internal battery is giving up. The solar panel no longer charges it.
This morning I attached a 12v battery and convertor. It's charging 👍
Just need it not to cook..🫢

I was just gonna share the latest clips from today.
However!
This is a great example of how to tell a female from a male..

The first daylight clip is a female. See how flighty, aware she is. The other 2 clips are males. They are much more confident, not frightened... from anything actually 😁

Santa is bringing me this new float tube. 'I have it'😁🤫
My old tube is about 25 years old.
I'd the fear when in it, the past few years, it was a brilliant tube though... still is actually!

We got an marten jumping the stream. I thought we'd get a stag..
Last week he got a few apple sections where he's nosing about. He's double checking.

First snow of the year!

Some snow up here last night..
November 19, 2025 at 12:09 PM
Stags at last on the camera.. 3, 2 of them in the distance.

Lots of action tonight!

I tried my wee logo i made in this clip..🤗

A daylight visit..👌
I'm on holiday tomorrow, I'll pop back in.
Maybe put a camera at Twiggy. I haven't checked in for a couple of months..

I like the new feeding box. It's less in our face..
The female holds court here👌
November 15, 2025 at 7:41 PM
The new feeder..
It's being worked out.
November 15, 2025 at 7:37 PM
I'm supposed to be making dinner...😁
I'm busy!
November 15, 2025 at 5:57 PM
Thought I'd try a plastic feeder, the martens will probably destroy it.😁
It will be easy to keep clean if they behave...
