Didn't have my camera with me, but this evening I watched, for twenty minutes, a White Lion Meadow water vole tearing out roots and chopping them up. It was especially nice as the dirty old trolleys have now been removed from the brook.
This blog charts the fortunes of water voles in and around the Whitchurch area, North Shropshire. Water voles are one of the UK's most threatened mammals, extinct in many counties, and so it's vital they receive as much monitoring and protection as there is going. Here in Whitchurch we're lucky enough to have them right in the middle of town - how cool is that?
