Motion-sensitive cameras have captured close-up images of some of the residents of an ancient pine forest in the Scottish Highlands.
A buzzard, deer and badger were all caught on camera as they went about their business in Loch Arkaig Pine Forest, Lochaber, in August and September this year.
The images have been released by Woodland Trust Scotland, which placed motion-triggered camera traps around the forest.
One shows the buzzard looking into the lens, while others depict the deer and badger as they pass nearby.
The conservation charity bought the forest, near Spean Bridge, in 2016 in partnership with Arkaig Community Forest, a group of local residents with ambitious plans for the 2,500-acre site.
The appeal to make the purchase possible attracted funding from a range of benefactors, with the largest contribution of £750,000 coming from the People’s Postcode Lottery.
Funds are still being raised for the long-term restoration of the woodland, which was the site of Commando training during the Second World War and has also been used as a location in the film Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows.
