My wife found a young pinemarten in a field (well the dogs spotted it) and it wasn’t able to stand up or walk. It’s now snug in a box and the local nature ranger is en-route . Crows and buzzards were quickly on the scene - no visible injuries. #highlands #pinemarten

Update: A wee girl, so the ranger thinks. Should be bigger this time of year probably the runt of the litter. No visible injuries but not sure if she’s been had by the neck by a badger , hence is numb on the back legs . Nothing seems broken. She’s now with the ranger at his house up the glen. Further updates as they come .

@rtmgla@glasgow.social Wonder what happened to it. We get them about a lot, but have only once ever seen one injured - it had lost its tail, I can only guess in a fight.
