Two weeks ago, Radley Brook had burst it's banks and the Thames path was flooded and impassable

So it is an opportunity to try and find if any water voles are still there and have survived the recent flooding. In the bank, it looks like there might be a burrow:

And in-between the sedge, a collection of small cut grass stems, a definite sign of water vole feeding.

Hooray!
