A pair of stoats were spotted outside our office this morning, investigating our woodpiles and compost heaps for small rodents. You can also see weasels here at St Abb's Head, they are much smaller than stoats and lack the bushy black tail tip, modeled so fetchingly by the stoat in this photo. In fact the two species are weaselly told apart, as they are stoatally different. Lizy.
