Invader on the marsh

[Lez325]

This mis NOT a native to the UK, they were brought into the UK for the Fur trade some decades back

This Mink was part of a breading business and was set free by activists = made it way onto the Somerset Levels and is presently decimating our Water Vole population

I caught this one as he crossed a path to a different area on the Levels

Thank you Jeff- that's interesting- I visit Staffordshire around once a month, any idea where I could photograph them?

Nice shot. Apparently it should be shot twice.

Agreed - the 2nd time with my .223 maybe ????

Nice shot! It's unfortunate when folks don't think through the unintended consequences of their actions. They took a bad situation and made it worse.
