    A stoat hopped down our garden this afternoon. Quite surreal.

    Was it as cunning as a stoaty fox?

    It was hoppy like a kangaroo. Kind of.

    Sounds like the first line of a joke but I once saw some stoats dancing around a rabbit on Southport beach, now that was a weird sight.

    We had a stoat in the garden a few months ago.....the Mrs was all...ahhh look at that, isn't that so cute, aah it's such a lovely little thing.

    Then it grabbed a rabbit by the neck and dragged it down the garden while it screamed.

    It weren't so cute then, little bãstard.

    Nature for you

    I had a beautiful female sprawk land on my garden wall on Big Garden Birdwatch day, just as I was about to pack up.
    She couldn't have timed it better :)
