This story goes back a long way. When I still lived in England, I was on holiday in Scotland with my wife and two very small sons. We were staying with my brother and had gone out exploring for the day, on 19th September 1971. In the late afternoon, we drove into the town of Ayr and bought some snack food and drove to a carpark at the south end of the beach to eat it. In the car park, there were a number of large concrete beams forming a broken platform. As we sat eating our food, we suddenly became aware of a Weasel - Mustela nivalis, apparently dancing on the concrete beams. It flung itself about, disappearing between the beams and reappearing at another spot, repeatedly. I put my telephoto lens on the camera, crept out of the car (on the far side from the weasel) and positioned myself with the lens resting on top of the car. The weasel continued its dance and despite the fading evening light I was able to get a couple of photos.
