A TALE OF TWO MICE

For some time I've been trying to film the Wood Mouse who lives in a hole in the hedge which is situated in a fox exit / entry point from a meadow.  Tonight I placed my infrared cam directly in front of the hole and retired a short distance away.  I left a piece of wholemeal biscuit and a few peanuts at the entrance to the hole.  Quite a surprising result - the resident of the hole appears at 50 seconds into the clip - dashing out to secure a single peanut and scuttling back into the hole.  At 1 min 39 secs,  another Wood Mouse enters from the left to seize the biscuit.   They are cute little creatures and have a relatively short lifespan of about 8 - 12 months.
