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.

  1. Post hibernation hunger? Do they hibernate? We have a bank vole we spot occasionally

    1. Hello. I don't think they hibernate as such but we don't see them much in the winter. Unfortunately your comment came up as 'unknown'. Could you let me know who I am talking to please.
