"Exploring the World of Voles: From Meadow Mice to Water Lovers" In Picture No. 11091998, we are introduced to the fascinating world of voles. These small rodents, also known as meadow mice, play a crucial role in various ecosystems around the globe. One such the Eastern meadow vole or meadow mouse (Microtus pennsylvanicus pennsylvanicus), captured beautifully in its natural habitat. With its sleek fur and curious eyes, this vole scurries through grassy meadows, contributing to the delicate balance of nature. Moving across continents, we encounter another species called the Water Vole (Arvicola terrestris). This adult they are be seen indulging in a feast of watercress in Kent, England during October. Their affinity for water makes them excellent swimmers and divers. The Great Gray Owl takes center stage next – an awe-inspiring bird with a wingspan reaching 52 inches. Standing tall at 27 inches, it relies heavily on voles as their primary food source. When vole populations decline in their boreal forest homes, these majestic owls embark on long journeys southward to find sustenance. A female Kestrel perched on a stump amidst bluebell woods catches our attention next. In controlled conditions, she proudly displays her catch – a plump vole resting beside her. This image showcases both predator and prey coexisting within nature's intricate tapestry. Venturing into Siberia's taiga forests brings us face-to-face with two young brothers from the Northern redbacked vole species. These adorable creatures feed upon taiga-forest floors near rivers like Negustyah and Bolshoi Ugan during springtime. They thrive within Uganskii Natural Reserve while contributing to its biodiversity. Returning closer home to Derbyshire in April reveals yet another delightful sight – a Water Vole perched on a riverbank.
