    Where i live in Chester there used to be a lil side stream next to a not very busy road. there used to be Voles in that little stream.
    Also there was a pond where i used to go 'newting' , we used to get newts and a large newt that we used to call 'conga newts' these were a black colour with yellow underneath them mainly on their bellies. I have looked into them now and think they may have been the great crested newt (looked like salamanders)
    Unfortunately they have built houses right next to it and the pond has gone. I thought they couldn't disturb newt sites.
    And for those who may say that catching newts is illegal, this was in the 70's early 80's.

    We built a new work site in Batley UK a couple of years ago. Part of the planning was a conservation area, which included the local beck, intended mainly for conservation of water voles. I was really pleased to see one on the banking of the beck last week.

    I'm American so I'm not sure if you have seen the same thing in the UK but, how do you keep people from freaking out and killing them thinking that they are rats? In America I know a lot of people who only stop to looks at rodents after they have killed them.

    The catastrophic decline of water voles is due to the disgusting actions of water authorities in the late 1970s and 1980s. Our then beautiful streams and Brooke’s were dug out into featureless drains in some ill thought out remedy to flooding which due to their actions caused yearly major flooding lower down the rivers. Their actions destroyed the vole burrows and runs. They destroyed rapids eddies and pools formed over millennia along with the habitat of millions of water voles and other species. I know this because the river where I grew up and spent most of my childhood and younger adult years was destroyed overnight by Severn Water I watched it happen powerless to stop it. If I went back there now I probably wouldn’t recognise my beautiful river. It was a crime that should never have been allowed to happen!
