365 water voles have been released in the Lake District to hopefully create a strong population. They're very much needed as part of a healthy, sustainable ecosystem.

Unlike most water voles, these ones are fossorial, means they live in underground burrows, like moles. You can see the entrance to one of these burrows in the foreground of this photograph, with the Cranhill Water Tower in the background.

As water voles are endangered in the UK, this population and its neighbouring ones in other patches of grassland in the east of Glasgow, are of national importance for the conservation of this species.

It might not seem like much, but this patch of rough grassland in the middle of a mid-20th Century housing estate on the eastern edge of Glasgow is home to some of the city's most unusual animal inhabitants: Water voles which live no where near any water whatsoever!

I love water voles, they're such cute little critters, but they do all kinds of damage to the banks of the drainage reens on the Gwent Levels. The burrowing to create nests and passageways often causes the reen bank to collapse; no wonder the navvies of years gone by persecuted them for ruining their canal banks.
