Another sighting

before long the plants growing alongside the stream will make water vole spotting difficult. Yesterday, when meeting up with BC on his way back with George, along Willow Lane, we saw a water vole. It was sitting on the far bank eating leaves, pulling down stems and nibbling away. After a short while it swam a little way off and emerged to start eating again. The sighting was nearer the west end of the stream quite close to the nature reserve. It was a smaller adult. Mid brown.
