Bank Vole, Wood Mouse and Common Shrew

I have been experimenting with the Bushnell trailcam over the past few nights, trying to get the focus and field of view adjusted.

Here are a few early results.  It is interesting to know that these animals are out and about in the garden all the time but hardly ever seen.  This is a bank vole (Myodes glareolus) which has has small ears and eyes and is happy to come out and feed in daylight.

 

This is the wood mouse (Apodemus sylvaticus) with larger ears, larger eyes and a longer tail, adapted to a nocturnal existence.

This was less expected but is a treat to capture in daylight, a common shrew (Sorex araneus).  I haven't yet worked out how to trim the video but I'm working on it.
