No. Not a water animal. Look at the shadows.

No. It's a lot easier than you're all thinking.

Hedgehog ?

Close, but no.

Brown rat ? mole ? Squirrel ?

Brown rat ? mole ? Squirrel ?

No. Now, if it's not all those creatures, what can it be? HINT: It eats critters.

 

[Silverhill]

Mink? Probably way out on this though.

Is it domesticated?

No. Closest guess so far. And it's not domesticated.

 

[blacktimberwolf]

Weasel ? stoat ? shrew ?

A weasel it is!

Now, I didn't know this due to my non existant tracking skills, but because I know my home area well. There are no hedgehogs in this area.

 

[Silverhill]

Yay. Close is good enough for me!
Well done BLackTimberWolf.

Good game, good game!

Now Harvestman's plant................is this a common species or is it only found in the vicinity of the Llandegfedd resevoir ?

I have googled UK water plant. I can conclude the results are meager.

The glory is yours sir..................T'was your mink that clinched it......I just kept throwing small mammals around, hoping one to stick to the wall

 

[Silverhill]

Hehe. I just have an image of mammal chucking in my head right now.

 

[Niels]

I'll have to look more closely then.

Meanwhile (yes, I still want to play), what is this UK water plant?

Is is some kind of water fern?

I was on the coast (near enough) at the time, although this is a common enough freshwater plant. My plants book indicates that it occurs throughout the UK and western Europe in suitable habitats, described as "Wet places".

Never seen it at Llandegfedd reservoir, but it is probably there somewhere.

 

[Harvestman]

No it isn't a water fern. It is a flowering plant.
