Yes, the large image is excellent as well. How is the colony fairing three years on? You seem to be suggesting that it is no longer
active.

A shame about this particular colony, but fortunately there are apparently some more good ones in the same general area. It is a good shot to remember it by, I love the shape of the animal.

Thanks for the feedback guys, it's always appreciated

Hi David, It's been twelve months since my last sighting of a Water Vole at this site, and as far as I'm aware the voles are no longer there which is such a shame.

a really nice image Andy.

Assuming this is the location I think it is (and it looks like it

) I didn't realise the WVs were no longer there. I last photographed them in March 2010 and they seemed to be doing well
