As we were sat on a log in a wooded area, this little Wood Mouse came scurrying past us and paused just long enough for me to get this shot. They have very long tails - longer than their bodies!

Many thanks to all who take the time to view, comment or fav my images.

Bank vole at Low Barns Nature Reserve
It kept popping it's head out of the hole, then going back down and popping up out of another hole!

I have finally seen the elusive water vole at RSPB Saltholme!! I was beginning to think it was just a mythical creature, as it has taken me about 5 years to finally catch a glimpse of it. So, although it isn't fully out in the open, it is a lifer shot for me, so I am very pleased with what I got!!

Many thanks to all who take the time to view, comment or fav my images.
