Pine marten siblings reunited
The Scottish SPCA has reunited two baby pine martens, separated after they fell from the same nest a month apart.
Little Aspen was brought in to our Wildlife Rescue Centre in Fife at the end of May after falling from her chimney-top nest on a building in Banff. A month later Ash arrived after being transferred to the Scottish SPCA from a wildlife rescue centre at New Deer, near Aberdeen. He too had fallen from the same nest.
Centre Manager Colin Seddon said, "We reunited the pair last week and they have been getting on very well together.
"We were fairly confident about putting them together given that they are brother and sister, but occasionally when you introduce one animal to another there can be a bit of a stand off.
"In this case though, they seemed to recognise each other and are playing together quite happily.
"We have been caring for them in small enclosures, but we are about to move them to an outdoor space where they will have plenty of room to move around and climb.
"Once they are fully developed we will find a suitable location to release them back to their natural, native habitat."
