I have lost count of the number of times that I have visited RSPB Fowlmere but only once have I seen a Water Vole, and that was a couple of weeks ago when a very nice young lady pointed one out that she had been following. One photo worth keeping.

On Facebook, the Friends of Fowlmere entries with great Water Vole photos are numerous so, 29th April, I decided to spend the afternoon there.

This time, I was successful with a load of photos taken, albeit requiring considerable editing as the Voles were usually in dark shady corners, far from ideal on a very sunny day.

The first keeper was an unusual one with the subject in the shade with a strongly sunlit back ground,

and a selection of further photos.

and the one that I like best because of the cautious look.

So, finally, a successful visit with more photos in the Recent Additions section.
