The Lincolnshire Bird Club

Highlight of a birding trip to Marston was a Stoat performing for a large number of Moorhen, Mallard and Teal. Much dancing and rushing about and the occasional wary approach (see Photo Album - Mammals) even venturing into the water at times. The birds seemed totally unperturbed by this performance and even approached the stoat on mass in what appeared to be a threatening manner! One probably ended up as lunch after I left! Has anyone else seen stoats behaving like this with large numbers of waterfowl? I've seen it with Rabbits before but not with birds.
