While I see the trails all over the place in the snow I seldom see Voles out in the open and for good reason given how many different predators prey on them. This day I kept seeing this Vole darting in and out of a tunnel grabbing what appeared to be a quick bite to eat. They seldom stayed for more than a few seconds but is was great to get a good look and a few (albeit a bit fuzzy) photos of these small mammals.
Cute little thing, but no friend in the garden!

A fine little guy. Now that the snow is melting a bit I see less of his tunnels.

Not sure I accept the ‘fuzzy’ comment! I’ve never ever managed to get a vole photo as sharp as these – esp #2 …. RH

Hi, well most of the photos were much fuzzier than those posted and I did work to make them a bit clearer.

Vole are cute little critters but do have a big appetite.
