Meadow vole

These poor little guys have to be pretty careful as they are a favourite prey item for so many animals and birds. Owls, hawks, foxes, weasels, will all prey on these guys. This fat little field mouse (as they are also called), Jeewanthi said, was eating seeds below the feeder.

other sizes: small medium original auto

It seems like the smaller an animal is the cuter it is! This is just as cute as can be! This is a great catch from Jeewanthi. I've had my camera for 6 years and have not had any opportunity to photograph a vole.
