Chicheley Polecat
A piece of roadkill near to Chicheley village looks very much like a Polecat.

Interesting to know that are about so close to home.
Over the last two years I have seen at least four dead Polecats on Newport Road in Emberton, although it's sad it least it shows there is a healthy population in the local area.
Hi Peter, I have seen a couple of these but I felt they they were more white/creamy in colour, suggesting more of a ferret influence. You're right there must be a few of them out there.
Sad to see that.
ReplyDeleteYes it is Keith. I would love to see a live one.
