8:22 A marten visit (Thanks for the hint Per Tejsner)

[Tatyana]

Good morning everybody!

6: 04-8: 07 Tönn and Tiiu fly in and out, bring twigs to the nest, carefully lay them. And they do not forget to show mutual love!


8:22 a marten came into the nest! (Crissy, sova, Liz01! Thanks for the wonderful photos and videos!)
Last year, Tiiu one night drove someone away from the nest when there were already eggs. Maybe then it was a marten?

It was the pine marten (Mates martes). Difference is in the white/yellowish marking on the front. The pine marten is more common in Estonia also.

Per
brown nose.. a pine marten

The stone marten's throat is usually colored white and forked.
It's maroon and more round at the the pine marten.
However, there are coloring variants for both types, so that a reliable differentiation is not possible if you have not good pictures.
The nose- mirror is pink on the stone marten, and brown on the pine marten.
