The water vole, which is on the red list of threatened species, has appeared in Hull Road Park in York for the first time
They have been found living along the vegetated banks of Osbaldwick Beck which runs through the park, following a seven-year project to improve the wildlife habitat in the area. They can often be identified from the distinctive plop sound they make when they dive into the water. As a result, voles have now appeared all along the beck, including at Hull Road Park, which lies close to an urban area.Jonathan Dent, from St Nicks in York, said: “We've had some very clear sightings over the last few weeks and identified field signs during in-stream surveys that 100% confirm their presence."
