How could this be possible when the creek is more than
15 meters below the trail at that place?
The trout was fresh but dead already and part of the
head was missing. It was a brown trout (Salmo trutta).
I do not think this trout was lost by a poacher
because the trail passes along our home and the dogs would have alerted us. I
bet on some fishing animal which may have lost its prey when the two dogs came
running and barking.
This morning I found the solution: a grey heron (Ardea cinerea) which nest
is located downstream, on the creek side, between the farm and the village. He just
took off when we arrived.
In any case, our cats enjoyed so much the little piece of trout they got for dinner.
