But wrong behaviour for a squirrel - and when it came out on to the grass, I saw it had a long thin tail. Unless anyone has a better idea, it is probably a rat - but it was too light a colour for a rat, and the head was too large and too rounded. Any water near there? Like a small stream or similar. I'm thinking Water Vole. Lots of photos here... http://www.arkive.org/water-vole/arv...ge-A22614.html I'd have said it was probably a weasel or just possibility a young otter if there is water around. though they will stray a mile or more from water. David @ a cool but almost rain free Swansea Bay I won't be a weasel, they are the size of a pencil and brown. It's probably a squirrel with a mangey tail. Nothing else is silvery grey. You must have very large pencils |
