Water Vole Photography, macro and the Laowa 24mm underwater.

Trying to find and photograph the elusive Water Vole.

Recently a good friend of mine told me about a spot he knew of where there was a chance of seeing water voles. I visited it once with no luck but decided to go back several times with the intention of filming them and getting my first truly wild photo of one. Without revealing the ending, it turned out to be very tough but I learnt a lot. For anyone looking to photography them my tip would be that they are super sensitive to noise. So if you can use a silent shutter then do, otherwise try to time your photos perfectly because I found a lot of them to be easily spooked.

I used some extra shots in this video from people that accompanied me on the first trip and the subsequent ones.
