jamie mc 168 Posted March 16, 2014 Report Share Posted March 16, 2014 The top one looked webbed so it might be a otter Quote Link to post

jamie mc 168 Posted March 16, 2014 Report Share Posted March 16, 2014 A mink print is about the size of a 2p how big are the prints in the picture. Quote Link to post
budharley 945 Posted March 16, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 16, 2014 The bottom pic is about that size you can just see a rat print up from it the top one is twice the size Quote Link to post
Frontbum 76 Posted March 16, 2014 Report Share Posted March 16, 2014 Hope this pic works, it is of a mink sorry about quality Quote Link to post
budharley 945 Posted March 16, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 16, 2014 If say it could be a mink I'm hoping the top one is a otter that would be amazing I'll get a camera trap up Quote Link to post
Outlaw Pete 2,224 Posted March 16, 2014 Report Share Posted March 16, 2014 No personal experience of otters, Budz. But, yes, I too was rather distracted by the rat in the last shot. So much so that I, at first, failed to spot the amusing feature of the mink tracks. See how they're over laid. One on top of the other? Well, I'm quite content to be corrected, but; Doesn't that suggest a bounding animal? Looks to me like he'd spotted that rat and was taking off after it! Quote Link to post

toby63 1,236 Posted March 16, 2014 Report Share Posted March 16, 2014 its realy hard to say without having something at the side of them to compare size Quote Link to post
jamie mc 168 Posted March 16, 2014 Report Share Posted March 16, 2014 If you read the post he says what size they are and the top one is a otter you can see the webbing on the print. Quote Link to post
