Striped field mouse (Apodemus agrarius) eating something while standing on a ground.

behind very dirty glass. I found these tiny mice so difficult to capture with my camera as the light wasn't very good and there were a lot of reflections on the glass. But despite the depth of field being so shallow here and showing up the glass more than the mouse I was quite pleased that it kept a still enough pose for me as they move so quickly.
These mice really are small - their bodies are only about 5-7 cm long with a 6cm long tail. I have never spotted any in the wild.

I went on a workshop to Dean Mason's "Windows on Wildlife" down in Wimborne, Dorset.
He operates under a DEFRA license and so far this year has been able to introduce over 40 harvest mice into the wild.
If you are looking for a workshop where the owner cares for his mice, then this is it!
You think this is funny...you should see him from the back of the feeder with his bum peeping through haha 😂
Hope everyone has a great Thanksgiving today! I'm very grateful for the beauty of nature that I've been able to experience this year. But I am even more thankful for all the good friends and people I've met and worked with this year. Thank you for all your support! This is a shot from Mouse Creek Falls in the Great Smoky Mountains this fall. You really can't take a bad photo around here! It also helped that it rained a little bit that morning which helped bring out that moist, saturated fall color look.
I saw a Wood Mouse in the garden again this morning, so hopefully I'll be able to have another crack at photographing them again soon!
This one was taken at midnight with two off-camera flashes: key light above and right of the camera, with a bit of backlight from a flash behind, below and left of the mouse.
Mouse Creek Falls is one of those locations that you have to return to many times to really understand. It's not your typical waterfall, in that the main creek doesn't take the plunge - a feeder creek does (Mouse Creek falls into Big Creek). I've uploaded several pictures recently to Flickr of Mouse Creek, including vertical orientations, closer shots of the falls, and panoramas. With this shot, I really tried to get the water arcing towards the lower left with the trees pointing to the upper right. As with some of my other recent shots of Mouse Creek Falls, this was taken after a heavy summer rain. Apparently, there's an upper falls on Mouse Creek several miles above this one, and requires some serious uphill, off-trail hiking to reach.

Thank you all very much for your faves, they are much appreciated
We saw this tiny mouse at the edge of a flower border in Plas Newydd gardens. We stood quietly and were able to watch it for about half an hour, as it munched through fallen flowers and buds.
A couple more shots in the comment below.
A wood mouse (brown with pale underparts rather than grey all over) joining the clean-up squad under the garden bird table.
Taken as an experiment to see how the EOS R worked with a long lens. Takes a while to get used to the delay through the viewfinder but it seems to deliver reasonable results.
Woody was sitting on top of the trellis, " this is what a mouse must see " , I thought , as I took this photo. He does have a lovely nose and whiskers though : )
My youngest cat June brought in this little mouse and deposited it in my bedroom. I was able to capture it...only to get bitten really hard on the finger ....that's the thanks I got for saving it from certain death. Here's a pix of it just before letting it go in the front yard.
Eurasian Harvest Mouse / micromys minutus. (Captive bred) Derbyshire. 23/05/15.
'REVEALING A DARKER SIDE'.
At a photography workshop three years ago, working with captive bred Harvest Mice, I can remember being very surprised by the intense colour of their underfur. I discovered that beneath the bright, gingery-brown guard hairs lies a dense black fur.
The Harvest Mouse pictured was happily clambering around some dead plant stems. It frequently passed thin projections that dug into it, causing the guard hairs to become dishevelled and out of place. This is exactly what had happened when I made the image, thus revealing the area of sooty black underfur.
