Andrew is staying at a place called Glenloy Lodge, which is just outside Fort William. It’s called Glenloy Lodge, but it should be called Pine Marten City!  Every night a group of pine martens appear out of the woods which surround the lodge, looking for food!  The owners leave an offering of peanuts on the front door step, which the Pine martens gladly accept. And since pine martens are generally a nocturnal species, it's like a breakfast buffet waiting for them when they wake up. I wish I had pine martens in my garden.

Shooting In The Wild follows local wildlife filmmaker Andrew O'Donnell as he discovers the best spots across Scotland to capture amazing footage of the Scottish wildlife. From camping out in hides for hours to trekking with heavy kit along rivers - it's all worth it to get the perfect shot.
