16th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Natural World
Bank Vole munching a red campion flower

This shot was taken during a Bank Vole Photography Workshop in private woodland, where wild voles were gently released onto a natural set and allowed to explore. I added some red campion flowers to the set and was delighted when a vole decided to sample them and I was able to capture the action.
