Wood mouse

Wood mice rarely come out in daylight here but will sometimes venture out at dusk.  Their large ears and large eyes are adapted to a mainly nocturnal existence.




The wood mouse usually has a long tail like this.


This one appears to have lost part of its tail.


This photo almost shows the difference between a bank vole and a wood mouse (!) but has very limited depth of field because of the poor light.
