| | | odd track found in the snow
While putting refuse in the bin during the snowy period i saw an odd track print in the snow and having 2 young boys interested in wildlife i have a Animals tracks and signs book. Going through the book the only track anywhere near it is for that of a polecat i was wondering if theres anyway of getting the print verified as i took photos and would like to confirm if it's at all possible that this could be a polecat print. |

You may need to resize the image 800 x 1200 is what I use. You can download free ones off google. |

These are from a cat.
Just as a matter of interest when in Britain are you and what sort of habitat are you in? |

Its the hind print at the bottom and the fore print at the top, its stood in its own footstep, so both prints are on top of each other. |

Ok not convinced myself as there were several prints similar and it did look very distinct. Thanks |
