We are very lucky here because pine martens are visitors to the garden. However, to be honest if you are in the right area, put food out and the martens find it then sightings will be close to guaranteed.
In sixteen years in visiting this bit of NW Scotland I have had two sightings wild pine martens but hundreds of sightings of ones where food is provided.
We usually see pine martens in the evening or, via the trail camera, very late or in the early hours.
However, this one - he/she is one of last year's young - arrived around 8am today. The hours of darkness are fairly short now (and getting shorter) so daytime views , while not common, are not that unusual.
