    I saw this tonight under the bird feeder, about half past six so almost dark

    I think its called a house mouse, although i've seen holes in the grass where it / they live. according to google a house mouse is uniform brown, this is white underneath so any ideas on what it is ? Body was 40-50mm

    Its a deer mouse. The ears are a little larger than a house mouse, eyes are larger.

    Thanks Fred, but I should have mentioned in the uk.

    According to Merlinator on dpr the pics do seem to tally with what we call wood mouse, long-tailed field mouse, field mouse

    Regards

    That's what it looks like. They do come into houses sometimes.

    Don’t tell the wife, she’ll have me putting traps out to move them elsewhere
