So Shrewd
16th August 2020
I have long been infatuated with the Bank Voles in my garden. All of them are officially called Vernon except for one individual. This little chap is so distinctive as he only has one eye and I have affectionately named him Odin. For he is surely wise after the event.
What he lacks in size, statue and obviously eyesight he makes up in personality, daring and ambition. Despite being hassled by larger Field Voles and often harried by the plethora of all Vernons he continues to eat like there is no tomorrow nipping back and forth from feeding station to feeding station.
Not even the shadow of lightening fast Common Shrews deter Odin from filling his little cheeks full of seed therefore demonstrating that in fact you don't have to be a shrew to be so shrewd.
