	When I first move here, me and my girls would watch the water voles on reeds on the river below the undertakers. Ten or so years ago they disappeared - possibly because of the influx of released mink. Today, for the first time in years I saw two on the reed - I'm sooo happy!!! Anyone visiting Winchester - they're by the old mill bridge on the opposite side to the mill.

	So good to know they're making a come-back. I'll look out for them when I'm next in Winchester. Gwyn
