MINK / MUSTELA VISON // LOOKING BACK
MINK was introduced to Britain from North America in the late 1920s, it was intended to be kept captive on fur farms. But many escaped, and they now have spread all over Britain. They are adorable looking, but they are a pest, they kill ground-nesting birds and have put the water vole into serious low numbers. Thousands are trapped, with little noticeable effect. The mink is still hunted in all nature reserves but now appears to be a permanent addition to Britain's Wildlife. It's a sad situation, seen at Stodmarsh Nature Reserve Kent.

Enjoy your day, keep safe and well.
God bless you ..........Tomx
