With all the recent wet and windy weather i have found it difficult to motivate myself and go out with the camera, luckily for me I have had a nice photography subject living in my garage for some time now and over the last three weeks have made it my mission to capture some images of him.

The animal in question is a Wood mouse and he has been helping himself to some of my bird food which was not in mice proof containers. As the weather has been so bad I have not had the heart to capture him and put him outside so have continued to leave him where he is before I eventually capture him and return him to the great outdoors.

Photographing him was more of a challenge than I had anticipated and I was amazed at how agile and fast they can be, thwarting my plans on many occasions.
