We’ve had Foxes (F is for Foxes) and Grey seal (G is for Grey seal) in this countdown so far; our third mammal is the vole – in fact, two species of vole. In January, I was very pleasantly surprised to see a live Bank vole, albeit only fleetingly. It was only the third time I’d seen this vole species though, to be honest, I’m still not one hundred percent sure this is a Bank vole (Bank vole, 11 January).

And it’s always such a delight to see the local Water voles, particularly this First Water vole of the year (24 February).
