Bank Vole, Clethrionomys glareolus
The other day this small Rodent entered our house for a brief period, before it died of its internal injuries. It had been brought into the garden by a cat and then escaped indoors.
I have no idea what species it is, not one I have come across before.
It is grey with black, and very small. It is about 6cm long, 1.5cm wide. Its tail is about 5cm, I think. And it is also very very cute.
It has been a bit of a bad and very sad story this spring and a bad beginning of summer.
It looks like a Vole of some sort, poor thing...
ReplyDeleteField Vole? Water Vole?
Most likely the former...
its my mate frank!!

ReplyDeleteVole was my first reaction too, but checking all the pics, I did not see any comparison-likeness.
ReplyDeletePete, I'd think your mate is some kind of Quaking Duck, if your avatarshows any likeness to you, or are you into mixed specie- relationships? LOL
LOL, that's so funny what you said to Pete.
ReplyDeleteWish I could help with the ID but I haven't a clue what the little creature is.
Thanks Crow.
ReplyDeleteWhat I said to Pete? 2well, He started it!
