These photos, for all they're technically flawed, go some way to showing the distinctive shape of a water vole - the rounded ends, the small, neat ears - and the size - that's a litre bottle in the background of the second shot.
You often see them apparently staring directly at you, and it's because they're short-sighted so they're trying to locate the sound you made. If you're quiet and still (and don't wear heavy perfume/aftershave) you can stand quite near a water vole.
So cute! They look really inqusitive, too.
