Please enlighten me. I have googled photos of both but can't decide which it is. In this shot, he is running away from the rabbit as I think I disturbed him. Goodness knows what would have happened if I hadn't walked along near the poor rabbit.
Hi Rosie not a lot of difference stouts are smaller and have a black tip tail by the looks of your photo the end of the tail is looking darker a nice shot
Hi Rosie, it’s a Stoat, if it was stalking a Rabbit. Rabbits are a large animal for Stoats to take, and could cause a serious injury to a Stoat, hence this one looking carefully before it pounced.
It was probably concentrating on the Rabbit, which how you got so close.
Weasels are smaller and would never try and catch a fit healthy Rabbit. The other photograph gives a sense of size, as we know how big rabbits are.
