We have a new visitor to one of our feeders....

A bloody mouse!

I have seen it during the summer on the patio.

But my wife saw it yesterday, and couldn't believe her eyes.

Personally I think she had been on the sauce, but as she doesn't drink I took her word for it. :grin:

I hope I can get a photo of the cheeky little thing.. :camera:

Phil, we encourage all animals onto our feeders and what drops bellow, foxes, badgers, squirrels (the grey and nasty ones) mice and their bigger cousins, don't want too many rats though and is why I stopped feeding the birds through the late spring, summer and early autumn :wink:

That'll make an interesting pics Phil, get one when you can.

Everything is welcome in my garden.

I stopped using them Mike, no matter how careful I was to put them in tunnels, man made or otherwise, I was always getting blackbirds and robins in them that were scrounging round the kennels. Keeping the rats down was an endless job---the Hobhole drain was the other side of the road.
