These beautiful mice are cheeky characters, they walk along the clothes line to get to the nuts in the bird feeders sometimes. The build nests in my compost heap.

oh my goodness, so cheeky! i can imagine them walking on the clothesline like a tightrope walker in a circus. they must be so entertaining to watch. hopefully they leave enough for the birds, though!
How sweet!!!
Your garden sounds like a haven for wildlife Dallo. It makes me so happy when others feel the same way about wildlife as I do.
I love the photo by tge way. I tried to photograph a squirrel on my bird feeder last week. Too fast though.
Cheers

We get everything in our back garden, we try to attract as much wildlife as possible by keeping access through our fences. Panel and post fences are blocking the animal highways so we always leave gaps so hedgehogs can get through. We have woodpeckers, gold crest, foxes, hedeghogs, tawny owls, wrens, gold finches etc
I too have wildlife traffic through my garden - and I am on the edge of a town.
I get woodpeckers, foxes, hedgehogs, squirrels... and I came across a deer last year!
I think there is an owl nesting in my chimney.
I have a picture of a squirrel on a "squirrel-proof" bird feeder - he fell off it from the first floor, landed on concrete, and did not survive.
I don't mind my little furry friends eating up the muesli I spill - but I do mind them helping themselves to my cheese.
Cute 😁

He looks so sweet. He'll have a gentle landing if a gust of wind hits him, with those ears. x
Awww too cute- Those shiny mischievous eyes! Fabulous photo too! You should get it published. 🌈🌸😘🐭
Oh what an enchanting picture Dallo100. So cleverly captured. Very cheeky, yes, but such enterprising and pretty creatures! 💖

I had a squirrel hanging from the bird feeder just outside my kitchen.
I'd have none of it! I had gone to a lot of work to make that homemade food (I hoped to attract the downy woodpeckers I've seen climbing on our tree). So I tapped on the window, and the little so -and-so ignored me!
Well, no squirrel was going to get the better of me! So I yanked up the window and started to raise the window screen -- when he stopped eating and turned and stared me down. Glared right at me. Well...
A squirrel got the better of me. I lowered the window and had a "squirrel feeder" instead.
What a sweet little guy! Love the ears!
isn't he just the cutest little thing, keep feeding him.
I am jealous! none of those cuties in our wild garden, but we get lots of birds, and the most wonderful thing, a feral got used to me, and flies onto my hand to be fed.
Makes my day every time.

Oh my goodness. That is the cutest mouse I've ever seen! I'm in the U S and I don't think we have them here. We have chipmunks, squirrels, deer, fox, woodchucks, voles and field mice in our wooded garden and I think we need a wood mouse!
One spring day I uncovered the plastic sheet on my compost heap, only to see an adult wood mouse with 5 babies. They were all standing on their hind legs looking up at me, they didn't seem to be frightened in any way, so I quietly replaced the cover. Quite a pleasant surprise also a slight disappointment that I had no camera at the time
Hello, I just found your email, it is lovely, I love nature more than people. Thank you and enjoy your gift......Sending love n hugs.......
Thank you very much for your kind comment. Agree we all should be educated more about nature, it would save our planet if people understand it more, realise the damage we are doing to it
