Pine Martins

Following these unfounded accusations of voyuerism let's get back to the serious business of ornithology.
Today's bird is something of a pest. A member of the swallow family the pine martin gets its name from the fact that it builds its nest on the pine end of buildings. In the days when buildings were predominately wooden their droppings would cause untold damage, and they are still considered a bird of ill omen.
With our reputation as experts on birds Eddie and I get numerous requests to remove these unsightly nests from peoples houses every spring.
