Buzzard and Heron in the snow

Last Sunday Lucinda and I saw one of the local Buzzards in the field opposite Willowbank Cottage and there is a new regular - a Heron that seems to have taken up a spot 20m upstream of the ford in Middle Street. We think it is very hungry, as it tends to wait until people are very close. It then flies low over the road to make its exit.

    We think the heron has moved towards the village from the ponds at Deers because they are frozen. He (she?)is a regular here.

    There is a lot of overnight activity in the snow here. Footprints indicate the rabbits are having a party! Maybe a hare as well and possibly a stoat/weasel. Does anyone know how to differentiate between stoat and weasel paw prints?
