Description: Did this Stoat in watercolour but I had to paint it from a photo in an old book as I have never managed to get a good photo myself so a bit of a cheat.

Description: I'm afraid I didn't observe its tail to see if it had a black tip, but judging by size - it seemed quite large - I'm plumping for stoat over weasel.

Description: Sorry about picture quality but there through the front door condensation on the glass as very hard frost last night. I have seen this behaviour before when they jump in the air and roll around to attract there pray.This was fascinating yet rather comical to watch,it was running towards the stone wall going half way up doing a summer-salt then landing back on the lawn it would then leap in the air.It has been back for the past two weeks looking for rabbit's and other things living around the barns and in the wood pile.
