Hi Kate, Fantastic water vole info. I have lots of ID queries as I found what I thought was a water vole latrine but it is on top of a pile of cut food, which I wasn't sure voles did? I do have a picture I can email you if you'd like

Droppings on top of cut food are more likely to be field vole, but water voles also sometimes do this. It's down to scale, really: field vole droppings are tiny, like grains of rice, whereas water vole pellets are slightly bigger than tic tac sized. Or, if you have guinea pigs, not unlike their droppings.
If you want to email me - and I'd like to see your photos - google Kate Long and use the email address from my website.

Yes, my sons reported this when they came back from town. It's good to see!
