Took a pic of this guy this morning , diving in and out of a garden wall hunting for mice , first time i have seen one this close and first for our garden , i really hope we get a family of them move in

Hoping to get a better pic but this is an opportunist pic with a big lens and no tripod , i've set everything up properly hoping it will return

I was only guessing (not a wildlife expert) - what's the difference between a stoat and a weasel?

Nice visitor anyway, makes a change from squirrels!
 
Not sure ....

I know what the difference between a buffalo and a bison is though ...

Well a weasel is weaselly recognised, but a stoat is stoatally different. :)
 
Stoats are usually a bit bigger but very hard to tell. Stoats have a black tip to their tail and can turn white in winter to become Ermines
 
I spotted one of them in my garden around this time last year, it was chasing a dark coloured blur, which I assumed was a field mouse. It gave up though.
