The water shrew pic looks like it is next to a lurking alligator...!)WendyBnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2966802467050066236.post-41357024895511799212015-07-14T02:55:22.040-07:002015-07-14T02:55:22.040-07:00I'd love to have seen that collision!

...Fabulous pics again - and I love the tiny toad !<br /><br />Pleased to say I had great views of a swimming water vole on Sunday - the first sighting for 2 weeks and only the second in 4 weeks. It was "White Eyes", a 'senior' vole with a bit of mange - and one that loves demolishing a particular elder bush :-)<br /><br />Banks very overgrown, with a lot of overhanging vegetation, so it was a lucky sighting - the vole 'colliding' with a young moorhen was what alerted me. The grass snake has been seen again.. WendyBnoreply@blogger.com
