No Göte, Clethrionomys glareolus.  Curiously DNA studies showed that they are of German rather than British origin, so it's been suggested (e.g. see here) that they were imported with soil-moving equipment in the 1920s when Siemens built a hydroelectric plant on the Shannon, Ireland's largest river.

I have got them too but they are a much smaller problem than the Arvicola is. I think I have no problem with them at all. I believe that those trying to get at my crocus and corydalis corms are mice rather than voles. However, I am not out hunting in the nights     so I am not sure.
