Do you want to know more about Water Voles and how YOU can help them?
This is a comprehensive, informative, & factual video about one of Britain's rarest animals, Water Voles, and how to help conserve them.
This is the sixth episode of a series called 'Britain's Rarest', in which I cover some of Britain's most endangered, but also most beautiful animals, as well as what you can do to help them.

thanks!
Great to see you back and healthy! I missed seeing your content, but stoked to see what you get up too in the future... especially with all the beautiful filming locations! Awesome panning shots of you thru the woods, you really have stepped up your editing/content game! I'd love to see a water vole, I'll keep my eyes out here in Hampshire! That is such a drastic decline... 94% of their original range 😦 Great work raising awareness Alex! 💚

thanks Shelby! That's lovely to hear :) Now that I've finally made another video, I can get round to catching up on all your fantastic content too!!
Sorry to hear you got the virus but glad you're back to good health now. Interesting video, looks like you've got yourself a camera operator! Well done for highlighting the plight of this endangered mammal. I was commissioned by a friend of mine to make a little film about his own Water Vole project back in 2018. I consider it was my first "proper film" and was favourably commented on by no less than Russell Savory! I called it "Down By The Waterside" and it can be seen here: kzread.info/dash/bejne/d56YpbSrmdncZ9I.html

Thanks :) What a coincidence! I'll have a look at that film - sounds interesting. Thanks for sharing!
Mink..? Lol. Seen dozens of Water Voles, NEVER seen a North American Mink in the wild yet.
