The tiny Harvest Mouse lives in long tussocky grassland, reedbeds, hedgerows and around woodland edges. They build a spherical nest of tightly woven grass, high up amongst the tall grasses. They are mainly vegetarian, eating seeds and fruits, but will also eat invertebrates.
The Harvest Mouse has pale, ginger or yellow fur and a white belly. Its tail is almost hairless and nearly as long as its body.
It can be found in Southern and central England. Also can be found in north & eastern England up to the Scottish borders.
So much to love about this photo - first of all - it's adorable .... then ... the colors are wonderful as they are all the same tone, the catch light in his/her eye is perfect and that little peek of tail - so sweet. Really like this!!
