Geoff Parish was fortunate enough yesterday to come across this agile Yellow-necked Mouse searching out rose hips down by the woodland classroom. This part of the Cordite is definitely the favoured spot and sightings seem to be increasing since my first two years ago...
I know that you cannot see the yellow neck but the large size, really long tail, bright ginger coat and sharp demarcation between that and the silky white underparts all point towards a positive ID. he must have been hungry to put himself in such an exposed position, especially with our Kestrel around.
