... no it doesnt have a punch line, but I saw one last night not far from home!
I thought weasel at first, but I didnt see a light colouring to its belly (it was pitch black but in my car head lights). Surely it wasnt a mink?
There is a small pond approx half a mile from wher I saw it. That pond is approx 1.5 miles (as the crow flys) from my chickens! I have the electric netting around their house, should I be concerned? |
