Goshawk, Pine Marten and Fox

Disturbed a large raptor in SW France about 4pm. Remains of red squirrel carcase wrapped around bramble. Set up cam trap to see if bird returned. Result: Goshawk about 6pm with a pine marten (not a much commoner stone marten) 15min later! Marten eventually freed carcase but returned at night (or perhaps another individual) as well as a fox.

Dude, you've tied that squirrel on too well😂

That’s incredible. What a chance in a lifetime spot! Thanks for sharing. Goshawk is king of the forest.

Not brilliant, but it was a camera trap and the results were fascinating.
