Mum Vole

 Beautiful Demoiselle

Here, I think, is the mum of the three baby water vols I saw last night. The vole in the water swam past quickly as if it had nothing to do with this litter, so I assume it holds a separate territory.

I'd like to thank Shropshire Council for instituting a new, vole-friendly mow line that doesn't expose any burrows, but since they're adamant they don't mow this patch, it can't be them. Mysterious!
