However, in Scotland, pine martens do not eat significant numbers of squirrels, although they are a more important food source in other parts of their range. In summer, the diet is more varied, and includes bird eggs, honey, caterpillars and fruits such as blaeberries (Vaccinium myrtillus).
In search of Pine Martens: Various hair traps were installed around Abbeyleix Bog woodlands area today by Denise O'Meara from Waterford IT. The trap consists of a 100 mm diameter pipe fixed to a tree trunk. A piece of food is hanged at the top inside the pipe. With the top closed off Pine Martens are lured to the food source through the bottom opening. A sticky strip inside the pipe at the bottom collects hair samples from the visitor in the process of reaching the food.
