I had never even heard of a Southern Red-backed Vole before seeing this tiny creature, LOL! Saw it when some of us were on the Dawn Chorus (walk) at Weaselhead/South Glenmore Park on 12th June (starting at 3:30 a.m.!). It was sitting on the path, nibbling quite happily on this long Dandelion stalk. It let a Naturalist's hand get to within maybe three or four inches, but then it decided it was time to leave : ) Lighting was awful, so had to use my flash for this - and I really don't like my flash.
