Stoat, Mustela erminea
Near Hawes, North Yorkshire
Paul Fowlie had set up a hide to photograph Stoats that were coming in for hens eggs. This was taken just before Christmas and it had been a cold stint in the hide, and I only had one visit from the stoat, over the six hours or so that I spent in the hide.
