Vole Voyage - A Floaty Adventure in the Reedbed Ditch!
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this hilarious snapshot, we witness a mischievous water vole embarking on an unexpected journey. The cunning little critter has taken the bait and found itself trapped on a polystyrene float in a reedbed ditch. But fear not, dear readers! This is all part of an elaborate relocation project at Crossness Nature Reserve. As humans extend their sewage treatment works, our furry friends need new homes too. So, these resourceful voles are being captured and whisked away to captivity while their brand-new habitat is built with love and care. Talk about luxury living for these aquatic marsh-dwellers! With its beady eyes peeking out from behind the trap bars, our brave vole seems both curious and slightly annoyed by its predicament. But hey, who wouldn't be? It's like finding yourself stuck on a floating island in the middle of nowhere! But fret not, little buddy! Soon enough you'll be swimming freely in your fresh-water paradise once again. Until then, enjoy your unexpected adventure as we capture this comical moment forever. So here's to our industrious voles - pioneers of relocation programs and masters of survival amidst human progress. May they continue to thrive in their wetland wonderland as we work together to protect Britain's precious wildlife habitats!
