Some of this is owing to the name 'Ratty' of the watervole in the book The Wind In The Willows by Kenneth Graham]]> 2017-01-24 09:43:28 UTC https://padlet.com/wendy_green/tmmil1i7w5z3/wish/148948459 https://padlet.com/wendy_green/tmmil1i7w5z3/wish/148950156 Water; slow flowin, at least a meter deep
Vegetation cover; lots of grassy vegetation for food and predator cover
Steep banks; they live in burrows built into the side of banks, with escape routes into the water but with most above water. In extreme conditions they will make floating nests but these are temporary 
Space; they are territorial with between 30 and 200 meters of water edge, this depends on their sex. If the the watercourse is more than 3 meters wide each bank may be territory for a different water vole.]]> 2017-01-24 09:52:06 UTC https://padlet.com/wendy_green/tmmil1i7w5z3/wish/148950156 https://padlet.com/wendy_green/tmmil1i7w5z3/wish/148951175 2017-01-24 09:57:10 UTC https://padlet.com/wendy_green/tmmil1i7w5z3/wish/148951175 https://padlet.com/wendy_green/tmmil1i7w5z3/wish/148951320 American mink
