Re: Which mouse?

Hi Ellen

Just wanted to say what lovely photos. They've certainly got the 'ahh' factor!

Sorry, can't help with the ID - only ever see House Mice in my garden.

Thanks Ida,
Yes it is cute! Happened to look out of window and saw something on the bird feeder.Picked up camera,took some shots just before it scampered over the fence.Think it must be a regular visitor!!!

Nice pics ellen, I would say Wood Mouse but I think I could be wrong. He is cute whatever he is. I have Wood Mice in my garden.

Re: Which mouse?

I'd say definitely Wood Mouse. They love peanut feeders. I've got a couple of shots in the mammal gallery.

Loving the photos Ellen! I too think it's a Wood Mouse, because it looks much paler underneath and has larger eyes.
