Weasel  (Mustela nivalis)

Widespread throughout mainland Britain, and on large islands around the UK, but absent from Ireland (3). They also occur throughout much of Europe, reaching into Asia as far east as Japan, as well as in North America (3).

Found in a range of habitats where there is good cover and plentiful prey, including woodland, grassland, sand dunes, mountains (3), urban areas, marshes and moors (2).
