In other words they are very difficult to tell apart.(Sorry about the sad joke) By the way,great photography,I wish i could of taken photo's like you when I was your age. Sam
Hi Ashley Bit late with the comment,Stoat & Weasel are difficult to tell apart execpt Stoat is larger and has a black tip to the tail where as Weasel has plain brown tail, pity you missed the end of the tail in the shot. Anyway still great shot to get. Monts
Thanks for the comment Monts, its was very fast and was being harassed by a moorhen so it stayed it the bushes most of the time. I dont think it had a black tip on its tail. Ash
