  • baby stoat/weasel!

    Just tucking into my supper and I heard what sounded like a bird in distress . So, having a cat I rushed outside to see what was going on.
    Indeed the cat was involved

    What I was expecting to be a bird stuck it's head through the chicken wire we have at the base of an old gate and squawked at me

    Not a bird thought I !

    getting closer it was clearly either a stoat or a weasel- but only about 6" long with a brown 1" tail. No black tip- so i'm presuming it's a weasel ( yes....cos it was weasily wecognised)

    Very small though- so I'm presuming it's a baby- but oh boy was it going for the cat by leaping forwards at her and squalking.Poor thing was terrified.
    Cat was duely picked up and brought inside and said mammel was left to go and eat as many voles as possible before they have a chance to get stuck into my veg plot!

    If it's a baby- then it'll have a mommy and daddy and maybe some siblings!

    How lovely! Not for the weasel and cat but, at least it has managed to fight another day. We once had a stoat in full ermine in our garden one year. I only managed to catch a glimpse but it was beautiful.

      You should of course have known whether it was a stoat or a weasel. How so? Because a weasel is weasily identified and a stoat is stotally different

          I was thinking of the chooks before you started talking about it eating voles! I'd best google these animals before I get too confused! Chooks I know
