SINGING STOAT

MOUTH OPEN wide, this little stoat appears to be in mid-song as he belts out a tune for his onlookers. This musical stoat was captured by Welsh carpenter and joiner Geoffrey Baker, 58, after a trip to the British Wildlife Centre, Surrey. 'This stoat was entertaining the crowds and showing off its vocal cords for us,' says Geoff, of Afan Valley, South Wales.
