Weasonably good day out


I was out at work in the Lakes yesterday when I spotted this little mite running backwards and forwards.  As it went from left to right it had a mouse in its mouth, and on the return journey it was empty.  By the looks of it there was many a happy hunting trip. 
Looking back I think it was a weasel, slightly smaller than a stoat but still has a white underbelly.  A stoat sometimes has a black tip on it's tail which this little un didn't.  It's a busy time of year right now for all of our nature with lots of hungry mouths to feed.
