Quelle surprise!

Watching the BBC National News today (08/03/13) and lo and behold - only two days after ToaBV - there they are, featuring a piece on the plight of the Water Vole (although failing to explain the prime reason for the Water Voles dramatic decline - see previous post).

The BBC article showed a nice young man from Dorset Wildlife Trust, explaining how they were clearing river banks to create a more suitable environment for Water Voles, whilst a number of fluorescent chaps from the Environment Agency felled branches, to build a mink restaurant in the middle of a stream (dear auntie Beeb thought that the little floating island represented a safe home).

It's nice to know the BBC are following my lead (if not my blog), but I just hope that they had decided not to mention, the only real way to help save the savaged Water Vole population, lest they offend the squeamish British Public. If not I fear the well intentioned good people of Dorset were wasting their time.
