bank vole

i had my good friend Ben round one day when we took pictures of redpoll to my delight he spotted a bank vole nipping in and out of a shed to snatch food from under the bird feeders . we got some pictures of him as he was running up and down the compost heap and in the grass , i had an idea to put an old rusty pipe down and get him to run up and down it.

Ben furthered this by creating a set with some moss and some ivy ...... i will let the pictures tell the rest of the storey.

Stunning redpoll

These were shot in low light conditions and i hope he comes back in the light but what a stunner!!
