Beavers and water voles are nature's long-time neighbours.

🦫✨ Beaver Advent – Day 5: Water Voles 🐾

Beavers build wetlands, creating ideal habitats for water voles, boosting their populations in subtle yet powerful ways.

They're crap at promoting themselves so let me. You see the breeding progs -wildcats, watervoles; beaver compound, w/ hide; the RW area w/ amazing trees. Shepherd's hut much cheaper than K**** when we went.
Just don't pre-book the taxi if you go by train.

Seems these posts are a quizz and we get to guess what species & region @citizenzoo.bsky.social is posting about. Spoiler: this one is Watervoles in UK.

Once a common riverside sight, the water vole nearly vanished due to habitat loss, pollution & mink predation.

Now, it’s making a slow but inspiring return writes Kate Moore
#WaterVoles #Conservation
Endangered – the remarkable water vole is making a comeback
Predation, pollution, climate change and habitat loss made Kenneth Grahame's Ratty one of the UK's most endangered species. But wildlife trusts are on the case

From the birdsong in our streets to rivers that run clean: nature matters. And it’s under threat.

In 3 days time, on Weds 9 July, we’re heading to Westminster to call for urgent action for people, climate, and nature.

Will you be a part of this moment?

A Water Vole sits snugly inside a mossy pipe at the water’s edge, holding a strip of green leaf between its paws. Ferns and lush greenery surround the entrance, and the calm water below reflects its round face and tiny hands. A glimpse of the wild we’re fighting to protect.

A lovely article on water vole conservation, which is all about the @inccymru.bsky.social using edible glitter to track and monitor water voles!

Water voles are almost extinct in Wales - could glitter save them?
It is hoped edible glitter could help conservationists to track the shy species in the wild.

The river is really low at the moment, and you see lots of little holes exposed along the banks.

I would love to imagine they once belonged to water voles, and someday they might return...
