Hi,
Was delighted yesterday to see a bank vole which I had previously photographed last Winter, was still 'in residence' in the same spot.
Spent the day photographing him yesterday.
Took many shots of him emerging from his shelter under a large piece of bark then decided to do a little external decorating of his home,hence the moss and flower
All comments always welcome and appreciated.

Fantastic image Justin.
Love the small plant to the left of him aswell.They both go well together in the shot.
Look forward to the others in the near future

Hi Justin
Super shot, small mammals are far from easy to do well in the wild!
Top-class Justin! Such a cute little face (the vole, not you ). Really fantastic shot.
Have you tried cropping some off the right? So that there's roughly the same space at the right as there is between the flower and the left edge? And then a proportionate amount from top and bottom? The resulting image looks great - would make a fantastic 'cute card'.
Still an absolute belter as it is though.
