The swedish nature photographer, Jan-Michael Breider, have just spent two days in the Pine Marten hide.

"I`m very happy with the service from the guide and the hide. The first day with sun and blue sky the light was not good. The second day the weather was terrible but still a Marten male showed up for 20 minutes. This time the light was superb".

Pine Martens still going strong

The Martens near Molde still make three-four visits to the feeding every day. Watch an excellent video from the site, made by photographer Per J. Næsje, here.
