Bank vole  (Clethrionomys glareolus)

Common in Britain, including a number of the islands. On Skomer Island off the Pembrokeshire coast of Wales, there is a subspecies known as the Skomer vole (Clethrionomys glareolus skomerensis). The bank vole is also common throughout much of western and central Europe (4).

This adaptable species (2) inhabits broadleaved woodlands, scrub, parks, hedgerows and banks where there is plenty of herbaceous cover (4).
