The Water Vole has long since been near the
top of my ‘hit-list’ and the discovery of a couple of likely places to see
these animals on the Isle of Purbeck is a bonus. We only have one large river
here and that is the Frome, that gives us our northern border, but there are
countless smaller steams and ponds that may or may not be home to a Vole or
two. Today, whilst perched on the bank of one patch of water I was joined by a
couple of Water Voles for just a few minutes as they swam along from right to
left. They didn’t hang around though and I couldn’t get a shot of them out of
the water, next time perhaps.
