Amidst the raw beauty of autumn's wrath, three Common Voles (Microtus arvalis) find solace on a windswept pier at the Wadden Sea coast in Holwerd, Friesland, The Netherlands. This heartwarming scene, crowned as the Nature Photo of the Year 2022 in the Mammal category, captures the resilience and adaptability of these small creatures. Elsewhere, in Kent, UK, a lone Field Vole (Microtus arvalis) sits on a rock, seemingly pondering the arrival of winter. In a contrasting scene, a cat (Felis silvestris catus) and a Common Vole share a moment of uneasy coexistence. The Common Vole's agility is showcased in a side-view image perched on a moss-covered rock, while its Orkney cousin, the Orkney Vole (Microtus arvalis orcadensis), adds another layer of intrigue to this fascinating species. Regardless of their surroundings, these humble creatures continue to captivate us with their endearing presence.
