Coming to the End of the Voling Season







Droppings tell me there's regular vole traffic on this stretch.


Getting very few sightings now, though a vole came up last night and sniffed my boot. The trail cam shows that the water voles are mainly nocturnal at the moment, which is a usual pattern. One of the video clips shows a bank vole: I include it to show the relative size against the water vole. (Ignore the date stamp, which keeps re-setting itself to the wrong time.)

This blog will, as usual, go into semi-hibernation now, although I'll post if I see anything interesting. Otherwise, see you in the Spring!

Same Vole













I think this is the same water vole I'm seeing every night now. I suspect it's a female who has now established her territory.

Back in Shropshire

 















Numbers are well up and the water voles remain bold with me, and aggressive with each other.
