The ermine rushing along the dry stone wall, light lichen-covered peak of rock adaptation. He came to investigate my pile of newspapers, where the lengths of ash split is the seasoning, ready for next winter. The stacked wood at rest during the summer months, is a haven for mice, and the ripples on her ermine, which is upside down like a nuthatch.
- daily observations of this family of stoats give me much pleasure. These sports are beautiful, with its rust-colored and black-tipped tail. As a gardener, I am glad of their presence, helping to keep down the bank voles thousands of lives in the old walls and eat my bulbs. Every time I walk into the flower borders of the earth crumbles under my feet, dug by undermining the vole runs the plant, leaving the roots exposed to air. A couple of weeks, I saw an adult mink with a mouse in its jaws back to the breach in the wall under the fig tree, I think the nest is. Stoats have only one offspring a year between six and 12 kits, and do not know how many people live in the cavity of the wall of my garden. Now young people are venturing out, his skin pale mahogany adults. At present, two are a fighting game between lungwort and hellebores in my shadow boundaries. Fall on the other, standing on its hind legs before jumping, they are a lush spectacle.
