Water Vole Identification
Not sure whether you have seen a water vole or not?
Water vole can be tricky to identify since you may only catch a fleeting glance even if you are lucky or there may only be foot prints, feeding sites or burrows to suggest presence.
There are resources available to help you if you are not quite sure whether you have seen a water vole or a brown rat, there are also training events run by the Whitchurch Community Water Vole Project should you wish to get involved in surveying for water voles in Shropshire.
Photographs of water vole and brown rat for comparison, examples of feeding stations, droppings and burrows are all available on the
Whitchuch Community Water Vole Project Website
