The small Rodent feeding station is going really well, With the Woodmouse coming out just before it gets light. Then a 10-15 minute break ( just time to pop in for a cup of coffee to warm up)
when, just after it gets light, a pair of Field Voles come.
Very nervous the first time the flash’s went off, but now totally oblivious to them and me.
Wild not captive. No hide.

You must be feeding him well Gary.
He looks really fat. Just the job for Mr Barn owl.
What a privelage to be able capture such an animal. Well done.
Major.
Hi all thanks for the comments.
There are several Hazel trees in the garden, and this year there were loads of nuts on them which I kept a lot of.
What I found works best is to crack them then grate the nut up so the Mice/Voles stay around and not just take a whole one and run off with it.
cheers Gary.
