Harvest mouse......

Harvest mice are much rarer than they once were.....they build their nests amongst the stems of long grass or cereals and can be found in areas of grassy scrub. They have suffered heavily from habitat loss and changes to farming practices They are visibly smaller than wood mice, with a blunter nose and smaller ears. This one was filmed in Norfolk at the Wildflower Centre near Holt, tucking into a bowl of millet.
