Wood Mouse

We had gone out this morning to retrieve the camera trap and were slowly making our way back while looking for bugs and chasing grasshoppers. The kids were hoping we might find a snake hiding under one of the old sheets of corrugated iron we had seen yesterday, but no luck. There was another sheet near the tumble-down cottage, and when we lifted that one there was a little wood mouse sat underneath it who didn't seem to realise what had happened at first, but then realised its cover had gone and shot off into the undergrowth!
