Water Voles - hard to find - harder to photograph

Published by the Mammals Trust UK, The State of Britain's Mammals 2005 report covers the key themes of mammal conservation over the last year. Among this year's most notable findings is the description of the water vole as "seriously under threat". Alas I've not been lucky enough to see one in the wild, let alone photograph one. Not hard to see why when the report describes the water vole as "a contender for the UK's most rapidly declining mammal". A real shame.

You can download a free copy of the report here: The Report. And if you want some brilliant footage of wild British water voles, the fantastic Arkive is the place to go: Water Vole movies.
