Stoat - a photo on Flickriver

Stoat

            A combination of work and bad weather kept me away from photography for almost two months but I was fortunate to get the chance to visit Lackford Lakes in Suffolk yesterday and was delighted to encounter this splendid Stoat. It had found a nest of young rats and returned five times over a period of less than ten minutes to pick them off, one by one, and take them back to its stash. Despite repeated opportunities, I barely managed any images in focus as it scampered around through the vegetation. This was reasonably in focus but I didn't quite manage to get the tail tip in shot! Apologies to those I follow for being so unresponsive lately; I've had a few months away from Flickr.
