A vert nice showing the vole superbly in its enviroment, would i'm have worked just as well as a vertical.

Lovely, natural shot. Either your fieldwork is fantastic or it was a very obliging individual.

An excellent image Ben. The placement of the vole is superb, enough vegetation to set the environment but nothing to spoil the actual vole.

Hello Ben.

Cracking shot and the moment you caught is spot on, and the setting could'nt be better.
