I had a nice day out at Potteric Carr, not a bad reserve, cameras where out in force never seen so many.
This water vole popped up behind a rat at a feeding station, so my outcry was initially rubbished but then commended.

Cheers now

Hi Tim,
Hope you enjoyed Potteric , I visit on a weekly basis it's one of my favourite reserves , whereabouts on the reserve did you see this little chap ???
Super shot , love the way he's curved around the three blades of grass.

Kind regards

Hi Andy,
Great reserve, so much to explore. I spotted this water vole from the hide opposite the human feed station, the food looks stonking too! :smile:

Great spot - and you certainly seem to get some good pics from Potteric: goes to show the benefit of really getting to know and work somewhere well.
