Another one from Sunday's Water Vole survey at Cheadle. Whilst this scene is not typical of the site as a whole, I think there's a message here about the plight of these creatures nationally.

A very thought provoking shot. It's amazing they are still hanging on there... My nit would be the stick he's hiding behind... I like it though, the greyness and slight grainyness really helps to put that message across.
Photography is a great tool in conservation, and it's important to show this side of nature, and our impact on it, as well as the 'pretty' side.
Well captured!

Very hard hitting, this image should go further than this forum.
