I’ve got a neighbourhood stoat too. Think he lives under a hedge in front of my house somewhere. I too saw the little fella scuttling past my patio windows.
Probably flew on a wood pecker to get there
Musky fox. Musky, sly, old foxy stoat. Minky, musky, sly, old stoaty, stoaty, stoat.
I’m assuming the floor planks are at least three inch wide. This seems small but makes the creature at least six inches long and weasels are even tinier. Apart from the tail, the way stoats run seems slightly more silly whereas weasels streak past.
The little hops 🥹 I’ve watched this 4 times! Adorable.
They’re so cute!
That’s stoatally awesome!
I was overtaken by a stoat once. I was cycling slowly up a hill in Hampshire, so slowly in fact that a stoat ran out of the verge, past me, and back into the long grass again further up the hill.
Thats cos it’s cold up in the NE. Down south, it’s otter.
that’s so cute! had one in our garden years ago! not had any since 💚💔
Loving the puns guys!
I’m not expert, but I think it’s actually a Pine Marten. I believe they’re very uncommon in this country and only found ‘ooop norf’, and Scotland
Since ~~merecats~~ merekats get you insurance, I’m assuming this thing was offering accounting services or something?
Ohhh so adorable! How lucky for you to see this cute lil fella
I wonder if it’s the rats under your decking that’s piqued his interest?
Is that decking composite or wood? If the latter, what did you treat it with? Deck envy here…
It’s a stoat actually Derek.
Remember, you don’t *have* to stick it down your trousers.
It’s a stoat! They’re so clever and completely harmless for your garden. Leave it be and enjoy! I keep ferrets (stoat cousins) and I’m pretty certain it’s looking for water on your deck. Mustelids LOVE water.

Thats a stoat, weasels are tiny, like long mice.
Do you live near Farthing Wood?
Nah mate that’s just a crackhead tabby.
Can you imagine!
