Not the greatest of days out today but saw a vole taking advantage of an apple set out for something else - probably water vole because I have seen one there before.

Edit - the blue colour is a float. The apple was on a floating platform in a drainage ditch. The platform is a small square board with a float on each edge

Small insects fall down the leaves where they drown in the water pooled where it joins the stem.
