EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this delightful snapshot captured by FLPA photographer Andrew Mason, we witness an enchanting moment straight out of a fairytale. Our furry friend, the Water Vole (Arvicola terrestris), emerges from its cozy burrow on the picturesque Cromford Canal bank in Derbyshire, England. With its adorable face peeking out from the hole entrance, it seems to be inviting us into its secret world. This charming European native is no ordinary rodent; it's a true celebrity of nature! Known for its incredible swimming skills and love for aquatic habitats, our water-loving vole steals hearts wherever it goes. Its sleek fur and curious eyes make it impossible not to fall head over heels. March brings new beginnings and warmer days, coaxing these little mammals out of their winter hideouts. As they venture into the open air along serene canals like this one, they remind us to appreciate life's simple pleasures – taking time to enjoy nature's wonders and embrace our inner childlike curiosity. So next time you find yourself strolling along a canal bank or exploring wildlife-rich landscapes in Europe, keep an eye out for these charismatic creatures. And if you're lucky enough to spot one like Andrew Mason did here, remember to give them a friendly wave as they continue their adventures through their watery wonderland!
