| | | What mustelid
Today while driving something ran across the road in front of me..
It was grey in colour just a bit longer than a mouse with a long wispy tail like a squirrels.
I have looked at stoats and weasels but they are all far too big. |

Weasels are our smallest mustelid, so if a Weasel is too big, then maybe a rodent. |

Maybe I got the size wrong then it was weasel like.

I have to say it was slightly TIC, knowing that Kayleigh is in Northants and Edible Dormice are restricted to the Bucks triangle, I would doubt it.
You never know, translocation is possible.
Come on Kayleigh - where did you see it?? |
