I will correct my own records but can anyone tell how I can correct it on the Gallery. I tried but got nowhere fast!

Tigger,

The only time I have seen the Wood Mouse is during the day. It comes out whenever the weather is fine and sits in the bird feeder for anywhere between 10 and 30 minutes feeding or just looking about. I assume it also comes out at night but I have never noticed it. I saw it once feeding alongside a Grey Squirrel which was quite amazing to see. Unfortunately I did not have my camera with me at the time.

Harold.
Harold click onto the photo in the Gallery there are some icons under the photograph. Click the on the red icon to report the image then the mods will change it.
