First Sighting at White Lion Meadow

I was looking over the bridge at what I was sure were water vole prints, when this vole appeared from the direction of the timber yard. Despite the deficiencies with focussing, the photos do show up the essential features of a vole: its general roundness, the blunt nose, the thick chocolate-brown fur, the small ears and star-shaped feet, the startlingly orange teeth, and the dark, fur-covered tail.
