the field mouse and his breakfast

Our friends, Ellie and David, live in a quiet rural part of Suffolk and the birds are not the only visitors to the bird feeder.

This little mouse has no trouble getting his breakfast. Sometimes he brings his friends.

I had to take this through the kitchen window and the light outside was dull but I wanted to post the shot.

Hopefully in the next days I will get a better opportunity.

Lovely capture Hazel, we get them on ours too!!

Oh what a fab shot Hazel, I often see photos people have taken of mice and wonder how they managed it!

[Gillian Brown]

Great capture.

Oh, my. I think we have a mouse as well. I thought it was a gecko getting into my birdseed, but now I think it's a mouse. There are sunflower seed shells all over my porch.

It's surprising who comes tomthe bird feeders but I have never seen a field mouse before, most welcome I would think!

[Peter H]

Very funny! They are cute little things.

Nice photo nevertheless !

It's probably hard to gauge his size from my photo!

This mouse must be a regular. It looks tame and hungry..
