Raven and Pine Marten at bait site using Acorn 6210MC


This Raven (Corvus corax)  visited one of my bait sites last week and made off with all the meat within forty minutes, leaving nothing but the smell of what might have been for the Pine Marten (Martes martes), who arrived later the same day.

Both of these animals are feeding young nearby. I've heard the Raven calling on occasions and recently found the Pine Marten denned up with young in an old Beech tree.




The bait was waste meat from a local game dealer.

The camera used was a Ltl Acorn 6210MC infra red remote camera set to take one still frame followed by a thirty second video on each trigger.
Delay set to zero seconds.
Image size 5MP (2560 x 1920 pixels)
HD Video size 1280 x 720 pixels.

The camera was placed low down and just over a metre from the subject.

This web site is about the wildlife, particularly the mammals, of the Glen Affric National Nature Reserve area in the north west Highlands of Scotland, UK; and the equipment I use to search for them, which is chiefly trail cameras.

I provide a technical support and parts service for the Ltl Acorn range of cameras and the income from this provides for the upkeep of this site and the purchase of cameras for my own surveying.

I hope you find the site useful and informative; and please contact me if you have any questions that I haven't already covered.
