More about poo





I know these droppings are water vole because I saw the vole responsible, but it's unusual in my experience to see such a very light green colour. That's the kind of green I usually associate with field vole.
.
These voles sitting next to each other are probably from the same family group (otherwise they'd be fighting). It could be parent and offspring. Note the fuzzier fur of the juvenile.
