Water voles are busily burrowing into a new home at one of the UK’s newest wetlands near Bristol after they were released onto the site.
With its ditches and vegetation, the wetlands are the perfect habitat for these brown furry mammals which are amongst the most endangered species in the UK. Watch our video of the water voles arriving at their new home here.
The wetland, at Hallen, is part of over 80 hectares of new wetland habitats created by the Avonmouth Severnside Enterprise Area (ASEA) Ecology Mitigation and Flood Defence Project.
