Well no one has posted it so I might as well.
The answer to the age old question, what's the difference between a stoat and a weasel. Well… the answer is that weasels are weaselly recognised whereas stoats are stoatally different.

Vicious little bastards.

A protected species the pine marten, sounds like they can look after themselves. they will kill for the fun of it.They killed 5 hens here , but didn't eat them . They suck the blood out of their necks.
Other than that , I'm not sure about their diet . I'd imagine a newborn lamb would be easy prey .
You could get salmon in Lidl and save a few bob...View attachment 81417 I used a can of John West Salmon
They don't really kill for fun, but do kill just to drink blood or take a small meal.A protected species the pine marten, sounds like they can look after themselves. they will kill for the fun of it.
