You can even see some air bubbles escaping from the fish.

Stoat v 3 Rooks



Isn't it a weasel? I am not sure at all, but seems so small for a stoat. Again I am not so sure, I can't even see if those are rooks. They seem to be carrion crows.

The word weasel is a term that refers to any of the animals in the genus mustela. So a stoat is a weasel, unless you were implying that the mustelid was a least weasel? And the viewing distance is too far away from the animals for me to distinguish if those birds are rooks or crows but I'm going to guess that we can trust the title on this occasion.

That must be my Dutch, I do not classify the group as weasels. Back in the day though, weasel and stoat were called least weasel and greater weasel too. Have never heard of polecats being referred to as weasels however.

I am not sure if this is a least weasel, but am fairly confident that these are carrion crows not rooks. Rooks have a very distinct head shape.
