Is… That a leaf??
Mmm, but it’s moving…
I think it’s a Vole, no sign of ears, much too small for a Wood/House mouse
Oh my, it’s a teeny tiny baby Wood mouse!
It really shouldn’t be out of the nest by the looks of things.
So, so tiny!
(urgh, the walls look awful, and to think I only power washed/painted them last summer…)
Hopefully this will give you a good idea of its size.
I went outside to see how close I could get…
I was able to get far too close.
I followed it, trying to see if it would notice danger.
Then it decided having a wash was a good idea with me stalking it…
Gradually getting ever closer…
Found something interesting
I herded it into the hedge
However, when I went up onto the tier to refill the cleaned bird feeders it joined me… I hope it’s found its home or otherwise grows up very quickly, there are far too many cats around here.
Poor baby.
