Water vole workshop

One of my birthday presents from LooseCanon was a watervole photography workshop with Tesni Ward, wildlife Photographer .  We met her at Redmires Reservoir near Sheffield and spent a lovely morning in the sunshine and chilly wind photographing  water voles ,various birds and a toad, some water birds and wild flowers.
The water voles are extremely cute and are not remotely or in any way rats! Or I'd have been out of there. They are quite endangered in England and I've never seen them before.
Tesni was excellent, she is knowledgeable about the wildlife and also is an Olympus ambassador so helped us with our cameras too.
