Reminds me - on Shelf Moor a couple of weeks ago watched three - could have been four kestrels hunting on the Doctor's Gate side. I thoght it was strange becaus you only ever see them singly or at most, in pairs. I wondered if they were juvenile trainees?
On the odd occassion that I've seen a crowd of Kestrels (I think that's the correct term), I've always assumed it was a parent teaching youngsters.Originally Posted by Grouse
I think I saw a Weasel!! Smallish, no black tip to what seemed a relatively short tail, compared to a Stoat!? Lighter brown possibly too.
You don't seem stoatally sure, they are weasily confused (etc.)...

running across the floor in my front room just now :w00t:
Think I've got the hang of Weasels / Stoats now! Saw another Weasel run across the road! Also had a walk with a vole yesterday. I followed it as it ran down the fence. Then when I passed it in order to stop it stressing it followed me. Then it sat in a corner and looked at me before wandering off down the fence while I watched it go!
saw 2 buzzards yesterday (could have been same one I guess) on northern edge of bleaklow, was bimbling up near black clough
also heard an owl at bottom end of our estate (shirebrook in glossop) though exact one I'm not sure.
It was probably thinkin' that you were weasily led and stoatally nuts!
I plead quilty on both counts m'lord!!:closed:
I saw wheatears and skylarks near Settle and a stoat on my way home. The stoat was definitely a stoat and it hopped into the bank waving its black-tipped tail. Gorgeous slinky creature.
