Re: Mammal of the day

Saw my first ever stoat today!

Just a brief glimpse as it disappeared into the undergrowth so no pictures I'm afraid.

I thought it was a weasel at first - I never remember how to tell them apart - but looked it up when I got home and it was definitely a stoat. It had the long tail with the darker clump of fur on the end.
