Stoat - Mustela erminea
Canon 600mm f4 for 1/640th @ iso400
A chance encounter when out looking for Red Deer in one of my favourite spots to photograph them.
A relative of the Pine Marten one of which had been reported as a recent visitor to the house we where staying in, Pine Martens are not uncommon visitors in this part of Scotland and west of the Corran Ferry I reckon most houses either have them in the loft or as garden visitors. Sadly no sightings of the Pine Marten at the house, a predominantly nocturnal wanderer, I am not unconvinced by some of the sounds from the loft space that it is still in residence.
