The video to the right has been
produced by the BBC and is
about the European Water Vole.
I currently volunteer for the Yorkshire Wildlife Trust on a project to enhance and preserve the Water Vole in an area of West Yorkshire.
It is very interesting to learn what to look for and then to recognise the signs of recent activity. The surprise when one leaps into the water in front of you and swims away still makes me jump with pleasure.
We have spent the last year doing surveys and generally improving the environment for the Water Vole where possible by ground and ditch clearance and tree coppicing where they are overhanging the water course.
I often write up in my blog about our work days and of course any sightings hopefully with photographs.

The video below is a classic Bill Oddie piece about the Blue Tit
I love to see the Blue Tits in our
garden, they eat off our hanging
feeders and also from the caged
ground feeder, vying with the
Great Tits for the tastiest morsel!
