winnie&bezza Posted March 3, 2015 Report Share Posted March 3, 2015 Incredible pic! I know it's not a weasel but a few years ago I was repairing the back door (due to break in) to our builders yard barn which is in the countryside and I was chiselling away when I heard a a rustle in the long grass. I turned around to see a baby rabbit just sitting there so I slowly walked towards it and got to within about 7ft and it just started to run when out of nowhere a stoat came running out of the grass and bundled it over right in front of me and dragged it off into the hedge! It was amazing to see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Underdog Posted March 3, 2015 Report Share Posted March 3, 2015 Do woodpeckers get measles? How do you see the red spots? Or is that chicken pox? Surely that would be pecker pox! Oh dear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glenshooter Posted March 3, 2015 Report Share Posted March 3, 2015 The suicidal weasel was trying to put paid to the old adage - 'Eagles may soar, but weasels don't get sucked into jet engines' - but he couldn't get the woodpecker to go high enough.....
