Weasely photograph­ed

- Joanne Gates, via email

On a glorious Sunday morning I visited RSPB Rainham Marshes. During a brief moment of relaxation, I spotted this weasel wandering alongg the path, minding it ts own business.

Although it saw me, to my amazement, the mammal kept exploring so I took lots of pictures as it got closer.

Moments later, it was playing peek-a-boo with me from behind a fence post! As it walked off into the undergrowt­h, I sat there dumbstruck and amazed at my first encounter with this

beautifulb­e animal.
