Water voles of course! Just got back from the canal and posted a couple of pics in the Gallery. they are not brilliant shots today I am afraid, saw 2 definite juveniles and 2 possible juveniles (close to a small snake!!). Here's one of the little ones

There are grass snakes a bit further up so I am assuming that's what it was. Maybe a young one?

Thanks Mark, it was so sweet but it's not really perfectly in focus - just about on the limit of the zoom, still gorgeous little thing

Super shot again Mark, not seen our wood mouse or house mouse for a while, will keep looking though. In the meantime keep those pics coming, they are lovely to see.

Shirl | Brilliant Shirl! Really enjoying the water vole photos You seem to be tripping over them, I just think you are so lucky. I still haven't seen any 
All the best

Having seen the super mammal pictures on this thread, I could not resist this one I took this morning  
There used to be a family pig farm on this site but I think that it is now defunct. The current owner is a little old lady who bikes around the village in a baseball cap and wearing wellies. We have this in common except that I only wear wellies when the conditions merit it.

Tracey | Thanks Tracey but in my case it's luck, I take what I see and if it turns out that's great, not very creative or technical I am afraid - just about manage to resize the pics! Glad you enjoy them though, keep looking for those water voles.
