    Mouse by the look of it, but difficult when there's no sense of scale.
    It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....



    I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...

    Yes - that's always the problem for the wee souls @pansyface. 'Mine' can always use the pond or the shallow tray in the front garden if they want a drink.
    They're usually too busy climbing up into the bird feeders and stuffing their faces though.

    Field mouse, judging by big ears and kangaroo type back legs. Poor mite, I also have to leave the watering cans either full, or on their sides, to avoid finding the occasional body and feeling guilty.

    Definitely a mouse
