Strange animal trotting over the street

26^th June (transfered from document)

Good weather, about 8 degrees.

Saw a strange small animal walking over the street on the way home from Leknes by car. First thought was that it was a small squirrel, but we’re not sure they exist this far up north. It didn’t move like a rat, and was too small to be of of the bigger animals. My guess is a baby ferret (iller) or mink kind of animal. The strange thing was the movement; that it was trotting like a horse rather than jumping in some way, with a quite big tail for the small animal. Time might tell what it was we saw, if we get the chance to see it again.
