| |  Mouse or Rat?
I think this is just a rat, but the light-ish colour makes me think it may be a mouse.
Which one is it?  |

Size is the biggest clue - how large was this chap? He looks like a rat to me. |

Not sure of the size, maybe the reed's width is a clue? I'll take it as a rat |

Its a rat. The colour and face are the clues. |

Definitely a Rat and a rather nice looking one at that.

Totally agree it's a brown rat, they do vary in colour from brown to grey, the ones we have in the garden (and the loft!) are a lightish grey colour. Saw a dead one by a stream recently and that was a brownish grey.
