Mice

[glittertigger]

While drinking a cup of tea, I've just been watching a field mouse, just like the one in this picture, foraging through a pile of pine cones at the bottom of the garden. I thought they were meant to be nocturnal? I give this one a very short life expectancy unless it learns a bit more caution. (I don't have a problem with them living at the bottom of the garden; they have a nest down the side of the shed and normally seem to head off into the graveyard to forage, and show no interest in heading towards the house).
