arvicolas return




Water vole in the local drain. Note the starwort - the drain is fed by blow wells with water percolated through the chalk lincolnshire wolds. Never seen a water vole eat the stuff though - they seem to prefer the new grass.

The local water voles are now stiring. March always seems to be the best time to view them. Vegetation is low and they all seem very hungry and unwilling to launch off into the drains.
