Snippet is a handsome boy and looks very proud with his new tag-not for long though it'll be bent and scratched in no time I'm sure. Love the Bank Vole, I hope you can get more photos as the year moves along. I had to look it up but they should have quite a few litters, with about 4 young each time, so hopefully a chance to catch a few little ones on camera.SeagullSuziehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15857680854262709165noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7109597837911345568.post-52207475221204082322013-06-11T15:44:03.207+01:002013-06-11T15:44:03.207+01:00Always love your photos!
