The National Trust is searching for a mysterious animal that is preying on an island’s seabird population.
It comes after the discovery of “unusual signs” of predation by a mammal on Canna, to the south of Skye.
A number of seabirds have been eaten on the tiny Scottish island, which provides a habitat to thousands of birds.

The unusual bit is that there’s an external predator, possibly a mink, that is predating on the colony. That’s it. Just scientists being scientists, but I hate that it makes for good clickbait haha
It is quite remote, you’d imagine this would be quite unusual as someone would have had to bring it one being swept over by storms would be unlikely.
