Bramblepoint make a wrong thing right

Though nowadays Birk mostly stayed in or near Redhawk caldera, always finding enough to do to fill his days, now and then he would leave home to make short treks in the surrounding territories. Mostly in search for resources, best mousing spots, for example, or tracking larger game to gain information of their movement and places they liked to reside and graze at. However, Bramblepoint - an unclaimed forest near caldera - had proven to be useful in a novel way.

During one of the "expeditions" he had found some bird nests on the ground and on closer inspection he found out that not only they were freshly made, but there were some birds that resided there too. When addind two and two he realized that at some point there most be eggs in them too. He had not eaten many in his lifetime, but those he had had been a precious treat. 

Therefore he returned to the forest often to check the nesting spots from distance and this was, what he was doing know, when he heard someone else moving through the forest nearby. He stopped and lifted his head to catch the smell of the yet invisible stranger.
