your right, there aren't as many around this year, I think it has to do with the big snow falls and freezing over of the ponds etc last winter. We are having another vole release up here in a couple of weeks, to boost numbers again, I think it should have been done in May though.
I keep looking at the water, it looks like its frozen solid, I would have expected to see some sort of detail in it, considering how sharp the voles nose is, a very strange effect which I suppose does have the desired affect of holding the viewers gaze

A really good image of a WV. I agree with Danielle that the water does look frozen. Fascinating.

The water did not look frozen to me, but perhaps that is because the first thing I noticed was how wet the vole was. Personally I would like to see the subject a little smaller within the fram, but overall a lovely shot of an animal we now see all too rarely.
