Useless photo, but I post it because it's a nice positive landmark when the water voles come back to the main town car park. A sighting too off Edgeley Road, later on.
Yes, it's a hard place to keep tabs on once the vegetation grows up. I think probably the rats are a big problem for the voles here too. But the main factor re fewer sightings may be that I don't put in the hours here that I used to - nowadays I tend to focus on other colonies around the town.

That's a joy as I believe it was a bit sparse last year.
