Posted: 04 Jun 2007 Hi All At Pulborough Brooks RPSB in Sussex yesterday my partner and I were walking along a track when we heard a rustle off to our right. A three foot grass snake shot across the path in front of us and down the bank with a weasel in hot pursuit. I thought that weasels ate small mammals ie voles. To cut a long story short the snake got away but the weasel drew an admiring crowd as it carried on hunting. Has anyone else heard of grassies being hunted by something so small? Cheers Clare |

Posted: 21 Sep 2007 Weasels and stoats are renowned for tackling prey larger than themselves, i.e rabbits. A grass snake wouldn't stand a chance if the weasel got hold of it; I think this one had a lucky escape! Gwent Amphibian and Reptile Group (GARG) |
