Fast as lightning

A few months ago I was walking in a forest near the Naarderlake when I heard a lot of rustling going on around me. And then suddenly I saw a large group of bank voles running around, the first time that I ever saw that sort of spectacle.

 

But goodness how fast they were and how unpredictable. They popped up everywhere, but also they hid under leaves, went into little holes in the ground, and came up in a completely different place.

 

I felt like a predator not knowing were to look or on what animal to focus so most of the shots I took were awful. This is the only shot that more or less is acceptable. But what a treat it was to observe them!
