One of the Cosmeston water voles was out and about today, munching on vegetation and also hauling in supplies, taking them under the dipping pond’s boardwalk and presumably stashing them somewhere.
Luckily, I was the only person around and, by staying quiet and still, I was able to watch it coming and going for quite some time. It was a delight!
What a privilege, and thank you for extending it to your readers. Such a delightful creature.
My pleasure. I’m always trying to enthuse people about the natural wonders around us and Ratty is a cracker. 🙂
Fantastic . I saw a programme on their release. I’ll have to get to Cosmeston and try and spot them.
There have been several releases, in the dipping pond and east lake and Sully brook, but the best chance to see them is the dipping pond, though I don’t see them very often. Good luck!
How delightful – and encouraging. My wife and I continue to enjoy all your blog pots and often share them with others.
Season’s greetings and warm wishes,
Richard
Thanks very much for your kind words, Richard, and very good wishes to you both for the festive season! 🙂
