A Short-tailed Field Vole was running about on top of the north harbour wall mound in bright sunlight this morning looking rather lost. Obviously the prestige of being a new dot on a mammal atlas (is there one?) was worth the effort and the serious predation risk (SD36V, the rest of this 10km square is under the sea/intertidal)
