Stoat Photography

[vinnychameleon]

Hi guys. Tonight I am goin to try and photograph my resident Stoat . I am planning to go to the top of my garden just before dusk and put out a few scraps of meat a few yards away and lie still waiting for him to come as he usually does eat the meat we put out for him. Im also gonna try and imitate the sound of a Rabbit in distress to lure him to the meat. Anyway I was just wondrin if anyone has any tips.

You could try eggs, they love eggs. Good luck

Hi Mrs Fish do you mean cracked open on the floor or left whole.

Whole, you could make a birds nest and put some chicken eggs in, maybe break one to release the smell.
Just a thought

Depending on how close you can get to it, you'll need a good flash gun and also a good auto focus assist beam or your camera won't focus on the Stoat if it's fairly dark. Either that or use manual focus.
