gulkie Posted January 12, 2011 Report Posted January 12, 2011 sorry for your loss tooshy, but your lucky it only killed 1.it is a stoatand I would keep your pairs together I think they will settle down quicker. had a hut full of budgies killed all except 1 by a stoat I was gutted.
Walter swanston Posted January 12, 2011 Report Posted January 12, 2011 Definitly a stoat.Remeber a weasel is weasily recognised while a stoat is stoataly different.
Guest IB Posted January 12, 2011 Report Posted January 12, 2011 I think that's a stoat, judging by tail. I'd a tussle with its cousin the weasel a while back, on a training toss at a railway station of all places, I'd put the basket on the ground, standing there giving the birds 10 minutes settle time when a weasel appeared from the undergrowth and headed for basket. I took a step forward and it dived under a grit bin. I picked basket up and put it on top of hand rails, again stood waiting, and again that weasel came back out, and I chased it. Bold as brass and obviously wasn't going to give up - and that was with a human present. Need to get that one sorted quick.
OLDYELLOW Posted January 12, 2011 Report Posted January 12, 2011 glad you nailed it and very lucky it only had the one you must of disturbed it
