Just thinking about the commotion that went on underground, and wondered if it might be a ferret that has gone feral.
Have caught two up there in the last 16 years, one in a drop trap, a big solid albino hob which i tried to tame, but not a chance. The thing you could hardly span, and tried killing any other ferrets it got near.
The other was a small poley jill, trapped it in a rock pile whilst it made a kill. (heard the rabbit squealing) Took it home and it just died within a day of it being caged.
All stoats in the past have run away, this (I never saw it by the way) was living in one ha
