wood mouse Apodemus sylvaticus
wood mouse Apodemus sylvaticus

This is a strange example of the way things happen sometimes – walking to work down Church walk, I heard a rustling in the undergrowth on my right and wondered briefly whether it was a mouse or something – more likely a skulking bird like a blackbird or possibly a wren, I decided. Then a hundred yards further down the road, there was more rustling to my left, and a mouse dashed out on to the road. It was really tame and stayed around for ages, but I had real trouble getting it on camera. This is about the best I managed, almost putting it completely out of shot. You can just make out its shape at the top, with a bright red eye reflecting in the camera flash. I looked it up at home and decided this is a wood mouse Apodemus sylvaticus.
