Rolfe 2 Posted December 23, 2009 Report Share Posted December 23, 2009 Oh how i wish i had a better camera with a quality zoom lens. I was at the golf course talking to the greenkeepers when a speeding rabbit came rushing past us, closely followed by a stoat in full hunting mode. Luckily i had my camera with me, as i was intending to get a few shots of the trees covered in a hoare frost. The stoat brazenly let me get quite close to take some amazing shots as it swiftly overpowered and killed the rabbit. I find it incredible that such a tiny predator can overpower and kill an animal so much bigger than itself. As i said.........A zoom lens on a quality camera and they would have been some fantastic shots........Still...they are some interesting action shots. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

sh 08 17 Posted December 23, 2009 Report Share Posted December 23, 2009 Cracking photos. I was putting up a farm building 2 summers ago and every so often would see a stoat carrying a rabbit to its den. no camera though. I agree its amazing that such a little thing can carry such large quarry Quote Link to post Share on other sites
