WEE TIMOROUS BEASTIE

This morning, being bin day, I went out to sort the rubbish bags out and when I opened the  big dustbin, I noticed what looked like little plastic snowflakes and ... a hole in one of the kitchen bin bags. "Hmmm." thinks I, "Rodent activity." Well when I pulled out all the white bags to go in the black sack, there at the bottom of the bin was ... a wee, timorous beastie,
It was so camera shy, it took me several shots to get the photograph I wanted, but the bright eyed little critter was rewarded with it's release into the wilds of ... next doors garden! I was amazed the size of the leap this tiny creature made from the bin area, through the dividing hedge. If, this year has Olympics for mice, well it would be a possible gold medalist!And for those who think I am soft in the head, it's very late ... time for bed!

  1. What a kind hearted soul you are, at least it was one of the smaller varieties of rodent!
