EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this thrilling moment captured by FLPA photographer Andrew Mason, we witness the incredible athleticism of an adult Water Vole as it gracefully glides across the surface of the water. With its sleek body and webbed feet, this little rodent seems to be competing for gold in the prestigious Water Vole Olympics! The picturesque Cromford Canal in Derbyshire sets the stage for this extraordinary display of aquatic prowess. As summer reaches its peak in August, our furry friend takes full advantage of the temperate English weather to showcase its swimming skills. This charming creature is a true symbol of British wildlife and can only be found in Northern UK regions like Derbyshire. Its presence adds a touch of magic to our riverbanks and canals, reminding us that nature's wonders are just around the corner. As spectators along the canal banks cheer on their favorite competitor, they marvel at how effortlessly this water-loving mammal navigates through freshwater rivers and canals. It's no wonder why these adorable voles have become beloved icons throughout Europe! So next time you find yourself strolling along a tranquil waterway or enjoying some downtime by a riverbank, keep your eyes peeled for these agile athletes. Who knows?
