Water vole
One from the archives. There have been a few reintroductions near me recently so I must go and check those out but this is from the days when I had to travel 50 miles to see a water vole.

a nice shot Andrew, let's hope those reintroductions have been successful.

A slightly busy setting, but thats how it was... might be worth trying to tone down some of the brighter foliage down so that it detracts less... always feel these photograph better under less bright conditions...

Hello Andrew.

I like this and find the bottom two thirds of the image really nice.

The top third is abit bright and busy. So I think I would crop an inch of the top and burn down the rest of the bright green leaves.

The amount of light catching the Vole is very nice.

I like this one but would also be tempted to try the above suggestions. :toast:
