I have only ever seen them once. It was a female with her brood. They were crossing the road at the side of the lottie.

Last year whilst out wi' dog I heard a squeal.  This was closely followed by a rabbit running across my path followed closely by a stoat.  I followed them and was able to witness a stoat catch and kill its prey.  Fascinating if a bit noisy.  Rabbits can make rabbit when nearing the end of their lives at the hands of a predator.
