Blunt nose, small eyes, and small hairy ears in contrast to other British species of mice and also much smaller; prehensile tail the same length as the head and body; russet orange fur with a white underside.
Size: 50-70mm.
Weight: 4-6g.
Lifespan: 18 months on average.
Origin & Distribution: The harvest mouse is a native species. The harvest mouse is mainly found from central Yorkshire southwards. Isolated records from Scotland and Wales probably result from the release of captive animals. Areas of tall grass provide favourable habitats, such as cereals, road side verges, hedgerows, reed beds, dykes and salt mashes where nests can be built.
Diet: They eat a mixture of seeds, berries and insects, although moss, roots and fungi may also be taken. Harvest mice sometimes take grain from cereal heads, leaving characteristic sickle-shaped remains. Noticeable damage to cereal crops is extremely rare.
General Ecology: Harvest mice are extremely active climbers and feed in the stalk zone of long grasses and reeds, particularly around dusk and dawn. Their hearing is acute and they will react sharply; they either freeze or drop into cover in response to rustling sounds up to 7m away. Harvest mice have high energy requirements; the cost of being warm blooded and coping with a high surface to volume ratio.
Breeding nests are the most obvious sign indicating the presence of harvest mice. The harvest mouse is the only British mammal to build nests of woven grass well above ground. Nests tend to be found in dense vegetation such as grasses, rushes, cereals, grassy hedgerows, ditches and brambles. They are generally located on the stalk zone of grasses, at least 30cm above ground in short grasses and up to a metre in tall reeds. The size of the nest can vary from only 5cm in diameter for non-breeding nests to 10cm in diameter for breeding nests.
Harvest mice have many predators: weasels, stoats, foxes, cats, owls, hawks, crows, even pheasants.
Breeding: Harvest mice usually have two or three litters a year in the wild, between late May and October, but even into December if the weather is mild. Most litters are born in August. Cold wet weather is a major cause of mortality. There are usually around six young in a litter. The young are born blind and hairless but grow extremely quickly and start to explore outside the nest by the 11th day. The young are abandoned after about 16 days, but continue using the nest which may at then start to look rather dilapidated. A fresh nest is built for each litter.

The bottom skip was mine, taking away the rubbish. I'm having my garden renovated to make it easier to maintain. :-))
Back in the fifties it seemed that everyone who used a pickup for agriculture or commercial purposes listed their name, town, and the weight of the vehicle minus all fluids and passengers on the door or side panel of the truck. Sign painters must have enjoyed a heyday. Perhaps this was a state department of motor vehicles requirement but in some cases I think it was merely a personal vanity. My dad did it on trucks he owned that were only used for personal transportation. Who could possibly care what the truck weighed with absolutely nothing in it including gas and oil?
Found in the Andes mountains and adjacent Pacific coasts of western South America, the Andean condor is the largest flying bird in the world by combined measurement of weight and wingspan. It has a maximum wingspan of 3.3 m (10 ft 10 in)

It's another changeable day today, we're hoping to do some butterfly transects this afternoon but we need a bit of sun . We'll see. I had a lovely meal last night with June, and had some orchids potted by her, so my collection is growing. Weights and measures is by Dry The River.
We watched this Peregrine pick apart this gull and drag this carcass back and forth three times. Here is one of the frames to start the sequence. Click for large view :)
Macro Mondays 'back in the day' theme.
Small brass weights from vintage scales which I hope fit the theme - anyway they do for me as I've used digital scales for many years.
Total width measurement of all the weights is 4.5 cm

A very personal image that I've debated actually posting but I think I need to. It's an addition to my series based around depression and those who struggle to get through it. There's a weight that depression has, it feels like you're carrying something much too heavy all the time.
November is usually when my depression settles into my mind, like a dimmer switch slowly turning the lights lower. I get anxious when the seasons change, hopeful that I'll be bright enough to push out any negative energy that tries to weigh me down.
