Yay! Great to see the pawprints! I love the lapwings photo too.

Some possible 'evidence' here in Cambridge is that there looks to be freshly disturbed black earth at the entrances of 3 or 4 burrows. However I've only recently seen two field mice scurrying in and out of there...

A pair of swans seem to have got rather ensconced on the ditch just recently, though they do sometimes disappear for a few days at a time. It's a small ditch - do swans and voles get on ?

Actually, I need to check this. I'm not sure.

Field voles will use water vole burrows, I think. We'll see what happens!
