Valiant Vernon
28th January 2021
I love my voles, they give me endless enjoyment and entertainment. It is hard keeping up with their comings and goings but having to spend so much time in my garden this winter I am very grateful that they come calling. They visit through various gaps in the fence from the field behind. I have both field and bank voles so whilst great for attracting all sorts of predators I am staunchily protective of them.
The faint whiff of peanut butter seems to attract not just them but also the shrews. The latter mostly being too fast for me to photograph plus they don't stay still like voles do to strike a pose.
So thank goodness for Vernon, my ubiquitous name for all my voles who brave the elements and making my day with their visitations.
