Pine martins on the pill

Post by piker al »

Seen a thing in the paper today, Cappercaillie numbers have dropped massively since the number of pine martins has increased, strangely since the pine Martin become protected there numbers have exploded, which on one hand is great for the pine Martin but not the capercaillie, it’s now scotlands most at risk bird, the experts are going to lace bait with a form of birth control pill, wonder if they can spike a few otters with it too, :laughs:
