| | | Confused Stoat
There was a heavy frost last night, all the ditches were frozen over. I spent an interesting few minutes this afternoon watching a stoat running out of the reed bed onto the ice, standing there for a few seconds and then running back into the reeds.
He did this at least haf a dozen times before wandering off into the longer grass. Quite entertaining, It was as if he couldn't understand how he could walk on what he knew as water. 
Sorry about the poor pic. |

Ive often seen stoats doing this but not particularly on snow, just running out of cover then back into it. Yet another wonderful stoat behaviour that is hard to explain  . |

The Stoat was back again, today he was not to bothered by the ice, running from one side of the creek to the other.
The ice is starting to melt, if he keeps it up he will go for a swim.  |

Both lovely photos, but the second is a beauty. Looks like he's already been for a dip.
