It has definitely been a week for Water Voles with many being seen including a family with four youngsters from the last bridge on the Northern Trail still. Lots of photographic opportunities as these completely independent young uns go about there daily habits of eating, grooming and swimming.  Reckon there is lots of sleeping too but we do not get to see that bit!

He is only about the size of a hamster at the moment but sure has a great appitite! (Mark Vale)

And as you can see they are not bothered about the crowds either! Happy voles and happy punters!
