Whooper Swan238 viewsGotcha - within the hour a young lady from the RSPCA arrived, she was absolutely brilliant. She quickly but carefully grabbed the swan & removed it from the hedgerow with the miimum of fuss, she was obviously very confident handling the bird, I wouldn't have fancied getting in range of it's beak.

Very heavily cropped photos I'm afraid.

Weasel Mustela nivalis237 viewsMy mate Dave initially told me this was a Stoat, claiming a Weasel is weasily recognised but a Stoat is stoataly different - well opinion is now divided, with another learned friend saying it's a Weasel, which I'm also leaning towards.
It's a poor/out of focus shot which doesn't help with ID, photographed @ Bradshaw Lane Pilling
