We are so lucky that two water voles are once again calling the Draper pond their home. If you are patient and quiet you may see one.Have a look around the pond for the water voles favourite spots, marked by latrines (piles of poo) or feeding sites (piles of nibbled fresh green vegetation), find a good spot and wait. If you are lucky keep your movements slow and noise low, so you don't spook them. The water is so clear at the moment you can even see them swimming under water to collect fresh lily shoots or other underwater plants. Amazing!
