Water Vole

Available for over a year

Chris Packham relives programmes from The Living World archives. In this programme recorded in 1999, Lionel Kelleway is joined by the late Rob Strachan on the outskirts of Oxford in search of water voles; the original 'ratty' in Kenneth Graham's 'Wind in the Willows'. When that book was written water voles were a much more common sight than today. But as Lionel is about to discover, looking in some of the most unlikely places near to modern human infrastructure can often bring about great rewards.
