Driving up the pass Sun eve around 11ish.

Just before the Cromlech Boulders I spotted what i first thought was a small fox in the headlights. It clambered up and over dry stone wall and dissapeared. Only thing it appeared to be silvery grey and its tail wasnt as bushy - more like a squirrel tail.

More than anything - it looked like a racoon or Coati Mundi.

I presume it was a juvenile fox, but the shape and colouring just didnt quite look right.

Has anyone one else seen any strtange looking critters around here (no jokes about boulderers please

Sounds like a polecat to me.

I nearly hit big dog otter on the way into Nant Peris on Friday, sounds like your critter was a bit smaller though. Ace to see it though, never seen one up here before.
