The Water Voles living in our extensive waterways have been really showy in recent weeks with many mini-me youngsters out independently feeding and keeping out of the way of the Grey Herons.

I was a little puzzled by this next image, taken in the woodland on Thursday of another off the ground rodent. At first I thought that it was House Mouse when looked at on the back of Betty Woodward's camera but I now reckon that it is a Bank Vole.
Great stuff!
