Saturday: Following the Bank Vole in Taplow, I went to the location in the woods where I snapped what I thought was a mouse a month ago. I now think it was also a Bank Vole, and that's certainly what I saw there this time. The coat is chestnut, and the tail is shorter than a mouse's but longer than a Field Vole's.
Now and then, especially when the woods are quiet, you come across a tree that startles you, like something from a nightmare or maybe from a film like Alien.
Let's be honest, I really went up the woods to look for lesser spotted woodpeckers. All I found was nuthatches. Loads of them, their infinite variety of calls ringing out everywhere.// posted by Christine @ 9:18 AM
