    Swifts arrived here the day after you saw yours Navigator

    I'm hoping to see and hear one of my favourite birds this weekend in the Strid Woods - the wood warbler

    ...or possibly not, having 'googled' it!! You've got me now!! I think Stoats are bigger with shorter tail, according to Wiki, they also have the black tail end! But now not sure wether weasels have a black tip! I'm sticking with Stoat after 'extensive' research!!
