An ermine give a lesson in survival of the fittest
While out in the workshop recording our next woodworking project, Gina spotted this ermine (also called a stoat) along the house. Some have said its a weasel. Woodworking comes to a full stop and we proceed to catch it on video. Now I know from previous experience that these little animals are not that scared of me. Quite bold actually. This little recording session is not exception. It shows us that in life there is no reward without risk. A white fur coat on a green and brows grassy surface is only asking for trouble with the birds of prey overhead. But, it managed to hunt and score a prize.
