Poo

Not just any old poo - Water Vole poo!

tic-tacs anyone?
Water Vole droppings are often found in 'latrines' (piles of droppings).  Usually, they are created as part of a territorial behaviour where a Water Vole will revisit the same area over and over again.

latrine #2
Two latrines were spotted. Both being quite fresh looking. Good to see the present Water Vole marking its territory.
