Rollin' with the Nettles - A Water Vole's Tasty Treat!
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this charming snapshot captured along the picturesque Cromford Canal in Derbyshire, England, we witness a delightful moment of nature's dining escapades. Our star of the show is none other than an adorable Water Vole, showcasing its impeccable taste for rolled-up Stinging Nettle leaves. With a mischievous glint in its eye and paws delicately holding onto its leafy treasure, this furry connoisseur knows how to savor every bite. Who knew that nettles could be such a delectable treat? Clearly, our vole friend has mastered the art of finding gourmet cuisine amidst the English countryside. As it perches on the canal bank like a true epicurean adventurer, one can't help but admire its resourcefulness and determination to find sustenance in unexpected places. The vibrant springtime surroundings only add to the enchantment of this scene – fresh green leaves dancing in harmony with sparkling river waters. This print by FLPA/Andrew Mason beautifully captures not only a whimsical encounter between animal and plant but also reminds us that even seemingly prickly situations can hold hidden delights. So next time you stumble upon some stinging nettles during your own adventures, remember our little vole friend who fearlessly indulged in their culinary wonders!
