AN AMERICAN MINK has been spotted poking its head out of its burrow on the Bridgewater Canal.
These can be most dangerous to canal banks, Janet Friend reports.
It is told that many have been spotted in a nearby park that is known as a very common mink habitat since 2012.
Bridgewater breach
It was suggested that the breach in the Bridgewater had 'something to do with mink burrowing'.
A spokesman for Cheshire Wildlife Trust told that they are ‘a serious threat to much-loved water voles'.
It was some years that do-gooders released hundreds of mink from a mink farm that have scattered for miles, their not having the sense to realise the harm they can do to both canal banks and other creatures.
