    I’d say some lad spilled out a can of tuna or a can of cat food on the rock to draw them to it.good video though.

    Nah look at the original pic a few pages back I’m 100 percent sure it’s a pine marten





    It’s definitely old piney and he after a bath. The tail is after drying out bushy. If you got the front of it on camera you would see the white blaze

    Discussion in RTE1 radio's Today with Sarah McInerney just now about Pine Martens and how they are allegedly killing chickens in Co Clare and how the government should remove their protected status so that they can protect their chickens...

    Their protected status will never change, but Marten certainly do love chicken.

    Had a Marten kill 2 of our chickens so decided to catch and kill the little sh!t.
    Managed to trap him, and then I got soft and let him go.
    Now I leave food out for him away from the chickens and we've become fairly close, can get within 10 meters of him and all he'll do is back up a little, doesn't run away. He loves bananas, even peels them, and odd treat of tuna.
    They are an incredible predator and so nice to see around the place. Have a family of 4 now visit most days.
    Chickens are fully enclosed with 25mm weld mesh and a trial cam monitors them at night, but Marten's seem happy to stay away when there's other sources of food.
