Polecat

Great views of a Polecat as it moved back and forth between den and it's search for prey this afternoon. The site was just outside Porth (don't worry I had my jabs for berri-berri and rabies before I visited). Think I'll take the camera tomorrow and hopefully I'll get some shots and post them tomorrow. Only the second 'live' polecat I've ever seen. The last one was on Craig yr Allt in 1981!

Smudge, as long as you wear protection (kevlar body armour) you'll be fine.
