I've not been out much lately, but did this morning with the express intent of photographing Water Voles.

Only saw one however, but he showed well enough for me

Your patience was worth it and paid off!

Looks a tad warm to me and would lose a little off the top, reducing the clutter in the BG.

I don't know about the warmth, but I agree with Stephen about losing some off the top. An excellent portrayal of my favourite rodent.

a very nice water vole shot, I agree about the crop. Always nice to get one out in the open like this.
