About this Blog
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?

Thanks, Nik!
Kate,
I would like to thank you and Albert for so kindly showing me and my group from Preston Montford FSC around the fishery on Saturday. We all learned so much and I am now inspired to look for signs on my home turf in Lancashire.
Kindest regards,
Phil James
It was an absolute pleasure. Albert and I both love sharing the vole-joy!
Let me know how you go on with your search in Lancashire. It's where I used to live so I'm especially interested.
Kate,
Small world isn't it? You'll be one of the first to learn of anything I find in Lancashire.
Phil
