Small Dead Visitor

First thing in the morning I found this poor unfortunate visitor dead behind the car.

weasel A Weasel obviously caught by one of the cats at sometime the day before. We can only think that there must have been something wrong with it, ill maybe or it was of a more advanced age to be caught by one of the cats. A young weasel is extremely fast and I would doubt a cat could easily manage to catch one, especially as they are really fierce little predators.

The positive out of this is it confirms that they are active and present in our area for one to be caught like this.

It was so colourful and worth a shot.

 

 

 

It's mould on some oatcakes that we had completely forgotten in a container.
