Went and had a poke around Whitchurch Country Park - Greenfields Nature Reserve - but before I did I stopped off at White Lion Meadow car park and watched this sizeable vole eating celandine for ten minutes.

Plenty of starry foorprints on the banks of the Country Park (photo directly above) plus burrows and a bit of feeding. No latrines yet that I could see.
This blog charts the fortunes of water voles in and around the Whitchurch area, North Shropshire. Water voles are one of the UK's most threatened mammals, extinct in many counties, and so it's vital they receive as much monitoring and protection as there is going. Here in Whitchurch we're lucky enough to have them right in the middle of town - how cool is that?
