the hazel mouse by quietpurplehaze

the hazel mouse

Thank you everyone for the interest in my two recent portraits, Eve, the Saxon lady, and Rodney who coppices hazels and looks after dormice and whose portrait I posted yesterday.

He showed me this photo of a dormouse curled up in his wife's hand with its bushy tail over its face.

I have made this little collage which also shows the nest box provided for the dormice. With its 'lid' on it looks like a bird box and is fastened to a tree.

I'd love to see a hazel mouse one day!
Aw, how sweet! I have never seen a dormouse for real either. Wouldn't it be fun?
