Rabbit Chasing A Stoat

Not a sight you see everyday. 

It was difficult trying to work out exactly what was happening here but the stoat seems to be disappearing down a warren of burrows and the rabbit was chasing it when it emerged although the stoat never captured anything. Rabbits are prey for stoats which also take over rabbit burrows. In this case the situation was made more complicated by the presence of a new-born stoat which was barely moving and in a very bad way although the adult never paid it any attention. We only spotted this as we were about to leave. I'm afraid there was no happy ending for the baby.

A couple of shots of the stoat as extras.
