Baby water vole - you can tell it's not a swimming field vole because it's so much darker

Seeing plenty of voles - two adults and a baby this afternoon - but not getting many shots so far. This is because the profile of the bank's changed, and where there used to be a handy shelf for the voles to rest and pose, there's now sheer bank so they just swim on by. I've dozens of shots of rippling water where one's just swum past and my camera hasn't caught it in time. I'll either have to improvise with a bit of wood, or find a new stretch of brook to watch.
