weasel call?

[vinnychameleon]

I am fairly sure i heard what was a weasel at the top of my garden in the long grass today. The noise was a fairly high pitched chattering but didnt sound like a mouse? I think it is the noise weasels make but can anyone confirm this?? thanks guys .

Four types of call according to the Handbook

A guttural hiss when slightly alarmed
A short screaming bark when provoked!
A shrill defensive wail
An excited high-pitched trilling during friendly encounters between mates or between mother and young.

Phill Drabble's "A weasel in my meat safe" might prove illuminating if you can find a copy.

Iv herd stoats and polecats using a similar sounding chattering call, mice dont normally use it, although a pair of angry shrews make quite a racket
