Is this a Banksy Rat found on beach on Isle Of Wight


At the end of Culver on the Sandown side a good mile from the carpark wedged up in the chalk cliffs i found this well beaten shell oil drum, on it was a graffiti stencilled rat and toxic green.
Is it possible Banksy was on holiday this summer on the Island maybe he/she was at the Bestival or is he/she a naturalist. I was fossil hunting up in the chalk for ammonites but this area is an illegal nudist beach.
As Banksy lounged in the midday sun his/her bits hanging out he/she spotted an old battered oil drum and decided to leave a calling card.
It took me hours to carry it back over the shingle then along the sandy beach up on the revetment where the morning doggy walkers stared at me along the revetment into and through town but home i did get it eventually.
So Banksy if you do read this blog a quik e-mail confirming it is your work will be enough to satisfy me.
