If you go down to the Watchpoint Hide, make sure you peer into the Mouse House in the back wall of the hide.  Far too many people are visiting the hide without seeing this des res for rodents.

When it was first installed, Wood Mice would only venture into there during the night.  I hoped that when they bred, the young mice would be more used to getting food there, and it appears to have worked.  Now, they are more used to people and Wood Mice can be seen throughout the day.  They take the food from the bowls, but also empty the cupboards and drawers.  Sometimes it looks like teenage mice have had a party while their parents are away.

But please be quiet, if you make too much noise, they will run out of the back and down the mouse escape holes to the mouse ladders.

As an incentive, the first person to get me a photograph of a mouse on a chair will get a Cadbury's Crème Egg !
