The low POV is working well here Ian, as is the lovely BG. Slight nit covered re the sharpness.

I was there last friday for 5hrs and never saw a single vole, since the tree by the bridge has been cut down sightings have been few and far between.

Lovely shot - nice to see a tail!

Ahh yes, the Walter vole, cousin of the water vole and less often photographed :smile:
A very nice shot Ian and the OOF foreground adds something to it on this occasion. Well done. :toast:
