Stoatally fabulous

Cameraman Mark Yates got a great chance to film the local family of stoats on the Pensthorpe reserve during 2009's Springwatch. The mother stoat has obviously taken full advantage of a nearby rabbit warren providing a larder full of food for what turns out to be a huge family. Nine kits in total are moved from their den to a new home across the road, followed quickly by the food their mother has been stockpiling.
