Water Vole Longrock SSSI. Still clinging on here? (in every sense) last sighting August 2025. Used to be far more regular and had naturally colonised but always faced many challenges here. @kentwildlife.bsky.social @kentfieldclub.bsky.social #watervole #ukwildlife #mammals

A photo of a Water Vole. Or, 'Ratty'. Sadly, in the wild, on average, water voles only live for about five months. It's rare for them to see a second winter.

European Water Vole Arvicola amphibius, from the family Cricetidae. It was a rare occasion for it not to dive for cover as I approached.

Water vole habitat in Gloucestershire 'illegally' destroyed The Environment Agency says studies showed water voles left the area after the destruction.

I imagine that this unkowing destruction of #watervole habitat is probably commonplace across the UK. What is required is a framework for prioritising the #environmental services provided by #ditches & #watercourses with #predator control.

Water voles are almost extinct in Wales - could glitter save them? It is hoped edible glitter could help conservationists to track the shy species in the wild.

#MondayThought Ratty from #WindintheWillows in danger, actaully Ratyy was a #WaterVole, new way to track this endangered species being tried www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Rare creature spotted along Dorset river A rare creature listed as one of Britain's fastest declining mammals has been photographed along a Dorset river

I'm sure the experts are right and a Water Vole has been spotted as in the article, however I'm intrigued to know whether as stated in the comments section does this picture show a #WaterVole or a #BankVole?
