We saw them around 5 to 5-30pm, just about chucking out time, when it was getting a bit quieter. They let you get quite close so I think they're fairly used to two legged beasts blundering around!
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?

We went to the zoo on Saturday, but we didn't see any watervoles! We did see the art exhibition and the watervole there!!!
Maybe it depends what time you go? I was there in the morning, and I stood by the roped sections near the observation hut.

I think they live the high life there - all the protection afforded by interested humans, but none of the usual hassle!
What a wonderful painting Kate.
Just thought I'd pop in and see how things are going with the voles and the brook. You've been working hard I see.
