Rain

The ditch where I mostly photograph water voles is quite narrow, so a downpour often wipes all traces of voles away, bar their burrows. Bits of feeding and footprints are swept off, and latrines submerged. I was quite worried when I went down this evening as there were no field signs after last night's rain. However I soon saw two voles and I'm sure when I go down to the field next time the latrines will have been restored.
