Pine weasel climbed into the hawk's nest to steal eggs

Three weeks without hatching eggs become the prey of the foxes in Scotland national park.

Successful hungry skunks get three eggs from the osprey nest in the Loch Garten National Park, Scotland, the BBC reported on June 19. Before leaving, it left its scent on the nest.

Pine trees live mainly in Europe, often eating small mammals, birds, insects, fruits. They are opportunistic animals. Maybe the ferret climbed into the falcon nest to see the eggs as an easy meal.

However, the staff said the number of eggs may have failed. The 21-year-old mother bird named EJ spawns a few weeks ago but they can't hatch. EJ is the most successful reproductive eagle in the park. It still stopped by the nest to protect this place from being occupied by other birds.

Loch Garten is home to eagles and many other birds. Osprey migrates from western Africa to Scotland to breed. They often hunt fish in rivers and lakes.
