A field vole (Microtus agrestis) in an irrigation canal in Almazán, Castilla y León region, Spain.


This image from the Guardian which does a great photo gallery each week of "wildlife" that always includes urban critters in marginal settings like this Spanish vole in a drainage ditch. A rainy spring and a dry and hot summer have resulted in a high population of field voles in the region.
