There's a stagnant-looking ditch immediately on the edge of that car park where I saw a vole about four years ago, then to the right there's another long ditch, plus one that runs in parallel, and that's the area where I saw the burrows/ nibbled grass.Katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16365185962131795210noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2966802467050066236.post-3192426046942884552007-03-26T01:57:00.000-07:002007-03-26T01:57:00.000-07:00Kate,Which car park at Whixall Moss ?I birdwatch a...Kate,<BR/>Which car park at Whixall Moss ?<BR/>I birdwatch and walk the dogs on WM and hadn't realised that WVs were there.

I was there Saturday, not too many birds to report, some Curlews back and a single Chiffchaff was the only migrant. 2 Oystercatchers on the floods by Morris's bridge.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2966802467050066236.post-45326651417516789572007-03-26T00:12:00.000-07:002007-03-26T00:12:00.000-07:00Malcolm Monie said he'd found signs there recently...Malcolm Monie said he'd found signs there recently. I suppose they live in the reed beds. Might go out there soon and have a look myself.<BR/><BR/>In the second photo down (if you enlarge it by clicking) the vole's just in the middle of shaking water off itself; ten seconds later and it was dry. Amazing coats they have.Katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16365185962131795210noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2966802467050066236.post-56195162088694870272007-03-25T22:32:00.000-07:002007-03-25T22:32:00.000-07:00I'm glad the photos aren't too racy!Has anyone see...I'm glad the photos aren't too racy!<BR/><BR/>Has anyone seen any voles at Brown Moss at all?
