Bank Vole................Clethrionomys glareolus

This little creature I found hiding under my garden seat near the pond.

Bank voles are widespread across mainland Britain, but are absent from some offshore islands.
Head and body length: 8-12cm, Weight: 15-40g
They have small eyes and ears, and a blunt nose. Adults have red-brown fur on their backs, although younger individuals have grey-brown fur. They have creamy beige under-parts.
Their typical habitat is woodland, but they are also found in grassland and hedgerows.
Feeding on buds, leaves, fruit and some insects. They often climb among bushes while foraging for food.
They are active during the night and day, but break up their activity with frequent periods of rest. Bank voles make nests under logs, amongst tree roots, in tree holes or underground. In the autumn, they sometimes store food for when food is scarce in the winter.
Bank voles are common and are not considered to be endangered
