Above: adult and baby vole.
Below, a trio of juvenile voles.
This adult tells this juv to scarper!
Like many water voles I've observed, this one has a white spot on its forehead.
So many voles about tonight it was hard to keep count. There were definitely two adults, three juveniles and a baby, and quite a lot of bickering and flopping into the water going on. The juveniles, who are more chestnut-coloured here, seemed to tolerate each other well, but the adult chased the baby off and also got rid of a juvenile vole it encountered.
