Stoats, Cley, 26th June 2014. Four well-grown kits spent over half-an-hour playing on the boardwalk this evening before they were shepherded away by their mother. A wonderful sight, but don't tell the warden! And definitely don't tell the National Trust - all mammals are intensively trapped, snared and killed on Cley's neighbouring Blakeney Freshes 'nature reserve'. I wonder what happened to our Otters....
