Saturday 31st January 2009 West Hythe

 

I went over to West Hythe in a deliberate attempt to get some images of the Mink which has been sighted regularly in the area of the dam. I sat down on the bank, looking over the side stream to view the scattered rocks on the far bank. Although they were in shadow, the light wasn't bad and after a short wait up popped my quarry. It was foraging amongst the rocks, sometimes swimming in the stream, and eventually found the corpse of a medium sized Pike, which it then proceeded to drag up the bank. I watched it feeding for over 10 minutes before it wandered off back into the bank side vegetation. (Dylan)
