ADORABLE HARVEST MOUSE CLIMBS DANDELION
Surveying its surroundings, a tiny harvest mouse climbs the stem of a dandelion. The adorable rodent, which is just 55mm long, is dwarfed by the flower and covered with dandelion seeds. The harvest mouse was photographed by maintenance engineer Martin Snelson when he visited a farm in Ashton-in-Makerfield and spotted the curious creature.
