So I knocked it down over winter during my cobweb clean. This year, I don't have any nests, but I have mice in the back left corner bank. Which is fine. They're field mice, and ridiculously cute, so they can stay if they want to. I had a peek in my mum's stable this morning, as I was looking for the Dove baby I fed through infancy {I have a horrid habit of adopting baby birds, and just helping them along a bit. Gordon was fine, cooing in the rafters.. At this point, I notice a bundle of intricately woven hay in Mum's back left corner... IN THE EAVES No way is that a bird's nest, it looks just like the little nests my Mice made [I bred mice for a couple of years, started as a college project, ended up with me having around 400... Yeah, I know [bls]} So, what I'm asking is, what could it be?! Would mice scale the stable wall to get to a nest? It's too beautiful for words, but I was running late this morning, so didn't grab a photo... I will this evening Harvest mouse? Dormouse!? xx [/quote]    -  HTML is OFF | Forum Code is ON    Insert a Flickr Image or Video Check here to include your profile signature.
