Water Vole Survey

At Blue House Farm again today for the water vole survey, it was a very productive day and we managed to get the whole area surveyed. We were counting latrines but it was also interesting to take note of other signs of activity such as feeding sites, burrows and tunnels in the reed. The last ditch surveyed was particularly active with 29 latrines found, that was more than we had found all day! Despite the water logged wellies, I learnt a lot from Nick (the warden) and I'll keep an eye out from now on for the signs of water vole activity on my regular walks with the dog.
