The Wood mouse is one of Britain's most abundant mammals, but being mainly nocturnal they often remain unseen. It has a dark-brown body that is greyish-white underneath. Prominent eyes and ears distinguish it from House mice that is a similar size. Wood Mice feed on a range of foods including seeds, buds, stems, fungi, moss, galls and nuts put out in bird feeders!
