Pine Marten I think. I’ve never seen one in person so I could be talking shite
It looks like a pine marten.
Either a pine Martin or a mink I’d say
Agree on pine marten. They look like a stoat but with darker colouring.
Pine Marten. Record it on Biodiversity Ireland, they use it to keep track of population spread.
THIS is what i saw one day at Atlantic pond in cork and i couldnt find what it was . Thanks for this
Snail.
Is he dead or just asleep?
That’s a rare sight even though it’s unfortunately dead, probably the rarest animal we have that’s mostly unseen, they think there’s only a couple of thousand in the whole country
Looks like a Billy Bumbler
Appears to be an animal, IMO
Assuming it’s dead, but do you think there’s any sign of poisoning? If it’s poisoned, and it’s obvious who did it, you could report it to the Gards. Pine martens are protected under the Wildlife Act
Ee’s not dead, ee’s pining for the Longfjords!
That’s a LongFord Cat Rabbit. Interbreeding occurs due to very few nightclubs.

Oh man I saw one of these on the grand canal at Dublin/Kildare border it was so damn cute peeping out of the bushes at us.
Definitely pine marten. Their numbers are increasing big time in Longford especially.
Cat crainn.
A dead one
Maybe we should start asking if its even alive??
Oh no, thats terribly sad. Not many of those lads around.
We have one of those, lives near us (West Cork) as I’ve seen it on our road when out walking my (blind) dog (who didn’t notice it!). My mum has seen it in our yard one morning too. Beautiful creature.

That’s a horse

That is a pine marten my friend, known as a cat crainn in Irish. They are generally found close to woodland and in forested areas
Pine Martin. Poor little guy 🙁
How to tell a pine marten from a mink or feral ferret
Pine marten. They are actually on the rise, and they are indirectly helping the red squirrel population. They eat grey squirrels. Grey’s don’t have the inherent behaviours to avoid them like red Do. Reds have behaviours that don’t suit making them a meal. They live in higher and harder to reach trees, where as the Grey’s are heavier and live lower, making them more attractive and tasty.
Dead by the looks of things
It’s a weird lookin cat
Pine Marten, some cunt farmers still kill them because they think they already ‘TB’. Which they don’t, poor farm hygiene does.
A beautiful one!
Dead one
Seen one running down the right hand lane on Carr’s hill outside carrigaline a few weeks ago, one of the busiest roads in cork city,
He scrambled up a ditch and gone
Absolutely beautiful colour,
Hopefully he stays out of the traffic.
Dinner ?
Not a fan of pine martens but they are the reason for red squirrels making a comeback in Ireland as they prey on grey squirrels.
The Irish name for these is cat crainn, tree cat! So literal, I love the descriptiveness of it. And they do kind of resemble cats.
Until today, I, a city boy, had never heard of a pine martin! TIL!
I am seeing a lot more rabbits and foxes around on my walks lately in d fields by my house while walking the dogs usually I’d see hardly any because they get hunted but since after covid seems to be way more and the other day was my first time seeing a stoat in real life in all my years walking there.
I only know 2 things about pine martens:
They love to murder chickens, and my friend that keeps chickens hates them.
It’s marten. Croatian national curemcy is actually named after this animal.
