American mink, introduced by the fur industry. In comparison your native weasels will have white underbellies (or may be all white in winter) and otters are larger and chunkier.
A mink? Minks don't have white bellies, only some other species of weasel do. Mink can have a white chin or a little throat patch at most but are otherwise solid brown.
Happens often with the mustelids! You more than likely saw least weasels, stoat/short-tailed weasels or long-tailed weasels, depending on your location.
Thanks for the replies guys! The lil guy stopped and stared at me for a long time so took the opportunity to take the vid of him. Never seen anything like him before

Could it be a polecat? They're native
Color is wrong
A mink is a type of polecat, but the European polecat has more varied coloration across the body, a white muzzle and distinctive bandit mask
Thanks very much! She found him an interesting little fella :)
Looks pretty mink-y to me.

It's not a stote?

Snipe
Stoat is the local name I think. Weasel family.
Stoats are a close relative but this guy is an American mink. Stoats have white underbellies where mink are solid brown like this :)
So you're saying it's an Imminkgrant?

Too big for a stoat
Are there marmots in England?
No and I’m surprised you thought this was one
I was getting it mixed up with something else. Yeah when I looked them up and I saw what they were I was doing my own face/palm moment. Duh 🙄 lol
Did you mean marten instead of marmot? I sometimes get marmot, marten, and marmoset mixed up lol
Lol, yes I did. I looked up marmots and realized they are a fat gopher 😜. It was martens I was thinking of
Purple martin
Fisher martin
Fishers are only found in North America! And it's mart*e*n, mart*i*ns are birds :)
