First time I've been able to get a shot of one of these little beauties.





I've made this thread a sticky so we can find it easily in future.
Im afraid its not a wood mouse Graham but a Bank vole. You can see by the rounded blunt head its a vole, the longer tail shows its a bank vole not a field vole. The wood mouse has a big long tail, much larger ears and much larger eyes.
