A Weasel crossed the road by the farm entrance yesterday.
I don't often see one of these little mammals. Much more regular is a sighting of a Stoat. However it was quite clearly a weasel - small, gingery and a short tail with no black tip.
Now the mention of mammals reminds be of the excess number of rats we seem to have at present. I took Buzz (our boxer/pointer cross) out the other evening to surprise the rats. None where I expected them - and then sounds of a commotion from inside the straw barn. Out ran a badgermuch to my and presumably Buzz's surprise. It trundled off out of the yard, sqeezing through a gate at the trott - not a fast run which I would have guessed it would have done. Raiding the bags of sheep food. The door to the main cattle shed will now be closed at night!
