Wildlife isn't 'locked down'

Taking advantage of a sunny, dry afternoon to do a few things around the garden, and sit in it of course, I noticed a sharp, furry movement on our patio. A while ago I discarded a bird feeder with some mouldy old peanuts intending to empty it and clean it later. Too late, a woodmouse had beaten me to it! He scooted away every time he saw our movement but soon came back.
I decided to move the feeder off the patio and a few minutes later our mouse came back looking for his great find. He/she went away disappointed and left me feeling very guilty. I have no doubt it will soon find them in their new place though.

Updated Blog

This blog used to be called Lettres de Lavelanet from the time when we had a house in Lavelanet in the Ariege.
Since our family have all moved up to the High Peak I thought it was time for an update.
All posts with an earlier date than this are from our time in France.
