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.

This has also been posted as part of Bird Record.
