Hi all mammel experts.
Saw this mouse today at Hickling nature reserve. Was on one of the few dry sites on the reserve. Afraid this is the only picture I could get as it could run quicker than I could focus  
Any ideas please.
Cheers David  |

Dogghound you really know your stuff! I have woodmice in my court yard, attracted by my bird feeder They really are such pretty little things Mine tend to pay little attention to me as long as I don't make any sudden movements.

I did look paler underneath but it was so quick I didn't get much of a look.
Have you named your woodmouse? and how about posting a picture
