An intrepid adventurer in the garden

 The garden has a new and intrepid inhabitant, a tiny little mouse:

This mouse is crazily brave. We were sitting out in the garden and the mouse was running back and forth past us, near enough to get photos. It was a tiny little thing, much smaller than an average adult mouse, so it must be either a baby or a different type of mouse. It's adorable, but I think it may be responsible for the hole in one of my squashes. I had previously put this down to slugs, and now there is a hole it the squash's skin, the slugs are munching happily away, but I suspect the original nibbler may have been this mouse or one of its friends.
