Hunt for predator eating island's seabirds after 'unusual signs'

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.
