Harvest mice antics.
The harvest mouse (micromys minutus) is a small rodent native to Europe and Asia. It is typically found in fields of cereal crops, such as wheat and oats, in reed beds and in other tall ground vegetation, such as long grass and hedgerows.
As you can see, it has reddish-brown fur with white underparts and a naked, but also highly prehensile tail, which it uses for climbing. As well as eating seeds, it feeds on insects, nectar and
fruit.
It is the smallest European rodent; an adult may weigh as little as 4 grams (0.14 oz), which explains why in can climb into a flower with little effect.

'When I feel I've lost a foothold your mercy hold me up'. (Ps 94:18)
My thoughts and prayers are with those who are losing a foothold in our world today because of the coronavirus, those most affected, the bereaved, health workers, displaced migrant workers in India and many more.
