Weasel v Mink

Down at the shore this afternoon bailing my boat. There was a hell of a racket started about 70 m away.Initially I thought it was a couple of birds having a squabble and then I saw movement in the rocks.Put my binos up and there was a mink chasing a weasel in and out of the crevices. I thought the weasel was as good as dead when the mink got right behind it on some open ground,but the weasel managed to keep ahead JUST, it was down to a foot at times. Anyway they dissapeared from sight and about 10 mins later the weasel appeared beside me none the worse for his excitement.
Anyone else ever seen a run in between these two?
 
Shame you don’t have more Otters about; an Otter will hunt down and kill any Mink in its territory.
