Definitely a very cute little critter and a fantastic swimmer to boot! I was lucky enough to get a non-blurry pic of this little bit swimming around as they’re awful fast.
It’s amazing how often you can see water voles in the little tributary when walking down Constable’s Walk, made famous by the artist John Constable who painted several views of Salisbury Cathedral (known locally as the “Town Path”) in Salisbury, UK, which links Elisabeth Gardens with the Old Mill at Harnham.
If you are ever in my neck of the woods I would urge you to take a trip down the Town Path and have a pint or two at The Old Mill. Many a great summer afternoon can be wiled away in these lovely locations and you never know what critters you might see along the way.
