This wee imp has been seen scampering around the reserve at Gruinart fairly frequently, and judging by the alarm calling meadow pipit when this was taken it's likely a happless chick was victim to feeding a litter of stoat kits.

Only moments later she came bounding back, seemingly oblivious to the not so-subtle human taking bad photos.

And the best way to identify a female stoat...

... her handbag is just out of shot.

In other news this lovely swallow had a great old time nattering away after a spell of heavy rain.
