Well, mine don't. I've been watching one colony almost obsessively for two and a half years, and I never ever see them in showery/rainy weather. I've never seen them in the winter, either (December - January), despite that wonderful film of the Cromford voles skidding about in the snow.
Maybe the voles here are just a bit feeble! |

The only water vole I've ever seen was at Elmley in Kent, and only through the car window. It was a while before it dawned on me what it was.

Rob | Our local water voles definitely like a bit of sunshine, but I regularly see them in winter at well below freezing temperatures, seen them in showery weather too. Hope you locate one to photograph.

Got it at last - wood mouse in the back garden taken just before dusk and through double glazing so not a sharp pic at all.

Yay! We have hedgehogs!  (Well at least one, anyway).
Tomorrow is bin day and I was just going to put them out. I opened the back door and there was a hedgehog on the path just two feet away. Never seen one before that wasn't spread all over the carriageway, and now I have one in my garden. (Happy dance!)
I'm going to hunt through all the old threads about what and what not to feed them with. If I can get him / her/ them to visit the patio on a regular basis I might even manage some photos...
