With the loss of my cat this week, I've kept her toys and put them into storage along with a few other things. The blue mouse on an elastic string with handle, she used to run around after for hours (more so when she was younger) and it squeaks.
A local cat charity had some of the other things, food and cat litter and some unused scratching poles and toys she never played with.
Given an HDR treatment.
I've started a little project in the garden photographing Wood Mice. They come to clean up any bird seed dropped on the floor and left (finches are dirty eaters!). It's been great fun so far. I should have started sooner!
A lone mouse made a dangerous trek across the surface of the snow drifts. There are many eyes in this forest just looking for a little meal like this.
Taken in captivity, this young Harvest mouse is part of a captive breeding programme. The mice are a UK Biodiversity Action Plan species due to severe declines in their numbers, when old enough mice are being released back into suitable sites in the wild.
They are the only British animal with a prehensile tail making them remarkably agile (and quick!) climbers. When fully grown the adults weigh only 4-6 grams with a head/body length of 5-7cm and their tail a similar length again. For a sense of scale, the flowers (which I think are a kind of Hawk's-beard) are a similar size to dandelions.
Well, not really attack.
The light was not great in this shot but it's been a long time since Mouse appeared on my stream so I brought my camera when I went over to visit Mad and Mouse this afternoon.
There's a lot of grain but that's okay, you can still see how cute Mouse is.
Hope everyone has had a good day.

I love this little mouse. It is my latest addition to my family of handmade mohair critters. It is the first time I have used eyelashes, but they really suit this little mouse. It is 4.5" seated ( 12 cms) and weighted a little with lead shot, so it sits nicely in your hand.

I wondered who was emptying the peanut feeders overnight. A lot of attempts at this usually only got part of a mouse or a tail. Two flashes used with a small light to aid focusing and a few hours out in the cold, but a very confiding mouse. Own garden, West Dorset.
Bella wasn't impressed - she was busy going to sleep when I had the idea for this photo & disturbed her!
Taken Blashford Lakes, Hampshire.
Had taken a break from Flickr.........longer than anticipated will be catching up soon
OK, this was taken last year, but what's in a date? There's never a wrong time to post an image of a Harvest mouse in my book. :)
