Below: because water vole droppings are a similar colour to mud - and sometimes squashed into it by deliberate vole-trampling - they can be hard to spot.

Burrows can be old, or belong to rats; footprints can be rat; feeding stations can be confused with field vole ones. So water vole droppings are worth scouring the banks for.
