First real 'summer visitor' arrived yesterday, with timing as accurate as a Swiss watch (over the 8 years I've lived here the average arrival date is 6th March).

Jos, I really do not know what your mammal you mention might be, but I will throw in a guess of Badger. Perhaps someone else will respond and we can find out what it was/is?

Not my garden but my parents - 6 Buzzards circling together (a garden record) and an Oystercatcher over.

Is it an ermine?
Names vary...
Mustela ermine - in Europe simply called Stoat, often called Ermine when in winter white coat. In USA, often Short-tailed Weasel.
Mustela nivalis - in Europe simply called Weasel. UK populations do not turn white, northern populations do. In USA, called Least Weasel.
This little fellow was Weasel, i.e. Least Weasel :t:
Mustelidae list on my land now:
Weasel
Polecat
Stone Marten
Pine Marten
Badger
Eurasian Otter

Fantastic to see that it hasn't become extinct here (yet). Just three years ago they were common in the garden, but the first one for this year came to the feeders this morning. Spring seems on the way, so hopefully there'll be a few more additions to the year list coming soon- going a bit slowly so far.....
