Genuine wild polecats are rare

According to my reading there are 46,000 now and mostly in Wales, Hereford area so we are in the correct region.

That could explain why it's (polecat or ferret cross) is in the area, that is my pest control area so there is a lot of dead rats and squirrels down there and the local rabbit population is growing again after a couple of lean years.

I will say that the Polecat site I linked to above does say genetic testing is the only way to be sure.

Thanks everyone for their input. I am very interested in this visitor, hopefully it will take up residence in one of the many rabbit burrows in the abundant hedgerows

If be tempted to see if it's a tame one, looks in too good condition to be wild, they do make a great pet, must have had about 20 of them over the years ,at one time had a run that covered about a third of my garden, used to take a cat basket of them to the local kids playground, the kids loved them and the parents freaked out. Obvs they were well handled and not biters

Frankly, if in a few months I learn visitors to the Lout Cave aren't greeted with, "Hey, fellas, watch this..." I'll feel major disappointment.
