A dog walker was given a 'shock' this week as he spotted a mink by the Welland.
Chris Payne came across the creature by the river outside Rooke's pet food store in Spalding on Sunday.
"It was a shock," he said.
"I was waiting for Rooke's to open and it was just running along the wall in front of us.
"I've never seen a mink before."
Minks are semi-aquatic mammals from the same family as ferrets, otters and wesaels.
