From the undergrowth
Hi all just a few from the last few days , all the normal stuff around as well as a vole living in the wood pile under the large seed feeder my thanks to Chris Burns for spotting it .
Great to see it out in the open like that. Well done Graham. Great to see the Jay on the log I brought up. Lots of variety in the Viewing Area. It really has come on over the 2 years its been there.
Hi Graham

ReplyDeleteThanks Bruce not sure myself 1st thought was vole but then Chris thought it might be a mouse . yours Graham
ReplyDeleteDefinitely a bank vole for me.
ReplyDeleteRich dark brown fur - check
Tail 50% length of body - check
Body fur reddish on back, creamy grey underneath - check
do a google image search for bank vole & you'll find almost identical images to the above.

ReplyDeleteIf you build it - THEY WILL COME!
ReplyDeleteNow I can see the Stubby nose - I'd say Vole too, Bank Vole being my best guess.
