I'm pretty sure I spotted my first one last year between Dykehead and Rottal. It was only a small thing and ran across the road right in front of me. Pity I couldn't have been quicker on the gas.

Nah,
Shoot it now, it wont differentiate between goosanders and ducks, moorhens, coots et al. even swans eggs are game for these fookers.
by looks of vid is a young un, so you have plenty more to worry about!
shoot them all now.
better still get a few mink cage traps, and drown em!

Never caught a moudie in a mink trap!
the drown em bit is when you find a mink in trap you just submerge it!
you are right about the mink killing out the water voles though!
