American Mink(Mustela vison) (027)

This picture was taken on the rocky shore of the Isle of Mull near Lochbuie. Our dog was barking at a large rock on the beach we moved her away and after observing from a distance this Mink emerged with her youngster. She eventually passed within three metres of us enabling me to get a few shots. You should always have your camera ready as you never know when your next wildlife experience will present itself.
