"MY PERSONAL TRAINER"
Weasel (Long Tailed) - 5 Photos
Believe in these restricted times, I have found my new "personal trainer" - yes, it is a Long Tailed Weasel in its winter coat.
The distances this little member of the Mustalid family travels at speed is incredible. Was fortunate enough to catch some close-up shots but also having had the chance to watch it from afar, am tempted to nickname this little one, "Usain Bolt" or perhaps "Usaine Bolt" (depending upon its gender). (Apologies to the world class sprinter but am certain Mr. Bolt would be impressed at the speed and stamina this weasel, for its size, can maintain.)
It has a bit of a dirty face & paws at the moment, digging into the vole tunnels but those little patches of red on its neck are related, I believe, to a recent rodent meal.

Oh yes, this weasel was fast :) Although he/she posed for you nicely for a while.
I, on the other hand, have been laughed at... when you called: he's behind you :)
