SO8836 : Dead polecat

taken 3 years ago, near to Church End, Gloucestershire, England

Dead polecat
Dead polecat
A sad sight to see, a road kill polecat on the side of the A38 at Puckrup near Twyning. There appears to be a good population of polecats in this region on the Gloucestershire/Worcestershire border, I have seen a few beside the A38 over the years. I have been reliably informed this is a male, I've been told the fur on their tales becomes thin in summer.
