I need help identifying something I saw yesterday! Was in a very thin strip of trees just off a main road. Couldn't get that close and light was failing but
- was about the size of a large terrier (wasn't a dog or fox!)
- was reddish or reddish-brownish colour
- didn't have any noticeable tail
- walked like a dog (i.e. didn't hop, and wasn't moving particularly fast)
- short legs
Have no idea what it was. Definately wasn't a dog,cat,fox,deer and wasn't the right shape to be a weasel/stoat/pine martin.
And not a badger- similar size but not black and white.
Any idea what it could be? Seen in Berkshire, S E England.
