In my experience it's very unusual to find many water vole signs over the winter months, but here are some I came across on a walk this afternoon. Plenty of field vole presence, too.

Hey Kate! I am back blogging and visiting my patch after some time away. Our 5th child was born in October so had other things to worry about. Hope you are well (as are your Water Voles!) Steve
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?

Good news and well spotted. It's an incentive for me to put my wellies on at the weekend and so what I can find.
Yeah, do put your wellies on. I went in just ankle boots, and came back muddy to the knees. Doh!
nice to see they're still active despite the approach of Winter.

Aw, Steve, congratulations! And really nice to hear you're all well. I'll be checking your blog soon - I did miss it!
