Sounds likely... thought it looked too fat for a ferret!

..and it sure ain't a Pine Marten! (I think that's why they sent it to me to be fair)

Polecat

Note also Where to find it

Found in Wales, parts of Scotland and parts of England including Avon, the South East, as far north as Cheshire and as far east as Leicestershire.

I think we might have a winner.
Thanks chaps
