Am still not sure if it was a stoat or weasel. Think when it was soaked it appeared longer! As far as inter netty thing, I have had 750,000 views on twitter and my blog is getting over 140 hits an hour over the last 24 hours!! Had phone calls from National press and have sent the photos to Birdwatching magazine. They may use them in their May edition. twitter is @jonoForgham

It clearly is biting, and biting hard enough to draw blood (see the last pic)Congratulations on capturing such an amazing sequence. It almost looks as if it is the weasel biting the heron's bill in the first picture, rather than the other way around.
Nope, as it is an immature Heron (approx one year old), so won't have a nest. Herons frequently eat rats, which are similar size to weasels (or a bit larger), so it likely was after the weasel as a nice dinner, but perhaps got more of a fight back than it was expecting.I wonder if it had been attacking the heron's eggs? Can't imagine a heron attacking a weasel for food.
