New footage shows signs of well-established populations of pine marten in the New Forest.
The creatures sleep and make dens high up in the trees and usually only come out at night to hunt.
The illusive cat-sized member of the weasel family was previously only thought to have survived largely in the north of England. The new clips also confirm initial findings that pine martens prefer to use fallen trees and branches to navigate across the forest floor and to cross streams and wet areas.Image caption,Mr Ward said it was "incredibly rare" to catch a glimpse of a pine marten.
The pine marten study is being carried out by Wild New Forest along with Forestry England, The New Forest Study Group, Hampshire and Isle of Wight Wildlife Trust.
