Description
Photograph of a lovely wild European wood mouse who I’ve been lucky enough to spot in the garden a few times, these mice are supposed to be very shy but this individual didn’t seem to mind to be photographed. I waited for a long time hoping that it may climb onto this terracotta flower pot surrounded by wild geranium and finally, for just split second it did! Taken in Dorset, in the South of England, UK.
Wood mice (Apodemus sylvaticus) are a species of mice native to Europe and Africa. These rodents are smaller than the house mouse, they have large rounded ears, long whiskers and tail and short orange brown fur.
