Bunzing Putorius putorius als predator van nestjonge Bruine Kiekendief Circus aeruginosus, en andere waarnemingen

On 21 June 2020, a polecat was observed in the southwestern Netherlands whilst dragging a dead nestling of Marsh Harrier across a field. The nearby creek held five breeding pairs of Marsh Harriers, and the polecat apparently had taken a chick from one of these nests. At another site, a recently fledged Marsh Harrier was recorded that captured katydids Tettigonia sp. from a field with cereals.
