LEAPING WOOD MOUSE

LEAPING through the air this determined little mouse is on a mission for food. With a spring in his step he flings himself one foot back and forth across the room as he collects his seeds for the winter. The adorable little wood mouse was photographed by retired farmer Chris Robbins, after he spotted the tiny creature stealing some bird seed from the shed in the back garden of his house in Launceston, Cornwall. ‘This all took place in my garden shed where I store my bird seed,’ says 57-year-old Chris.
