This image contains digital watermarking or credits in the image itself. The usage of visible watermarks is discouraged. If a non-watermarked version of the image is available, please upload it under the same file name and then remove this template. Ensure that removed information is present in the image description page and replace this template with {{Metadata from image}} or {{Attribution metadata from licensed image}}.

Caution: Before removing a watermark from a copyrighted image, please read the WMF's analysis of the legal ramifications of doing so, as well as Commons' proposed policy regarding watermarks.

If the old version is still useful, for example if removing the watermark damages the image significantly, upload the new version under a different title so that both can be used. After uploading the non-watermarked version, replace this template with {{Superseded|new filename|version without watermarks}}.

Summary edit

Description

This is a water vole swimming in the river Itchen. An animal that is starting to become rare in Britain with numbers down 20% since 2011 (and 90% since the 1970's).

I spoke to someone from our village in the Spring about letting his dog off the leash by the river and allowing it to go off playing in the reed beds and chasing any animals living on the river banks. I mentioned the nearby kingfishers and water voles. His reply, "They'll just move somewhere else!"

We often think that we need more education to protect our wildlife. I think it is much more difficult than that. It is a new culture, a change of behaviour - something not achieved by passing information.
