Hey farmer, farmer, put away the D.D.T now. Give me spots on my apples, but leave me the birds and the bees, please!
Hi Wiseoldbird,
I agree with Janet. I love the mouse - cheeky creature!!
Cheers, Linda.

Hi Wiseoldbird
Welcome to the RSPB Forum
I agree with Janets answers
The first mouse looks like a Field Mouse due to its large ears and light brown colouration.
The second mouse looks like a House Mouse due to its dark colouration.
Regards
Kathy and Dave
I'm no good on mice !
never seen a mouse on feeders before,
I went to a park and there was a bird table out side and that had four rats on it. the odd thing is that two of the rats looked like tame rats as they was brown and white, just like pet rats, the other two were brown.
The first mouse is definitely a field mouse. Their ears are so huge you can't miss them - and they are transparent in certain lights.
you guys are great - im gonna go through all my old stuff now - trying to use books i find really hard and i am amazed that all these little fellows plus the ones i do know like my 2 x robins all appear in a suburban small garden - love it!
THANKSx
Hi Wiseoldbird, I just love your photos of the mice on your feeders. What cheeky little things. Brilliant captures by you - well done.
The necessity of bird-watching is a really good reason for avoiding all forms of housework.
The dust will still be there tomorrow - the birds may not be!
