Thank you to everyone who commented on our camera trap quiz yesterday! This was a tricky one, it looks quite rat-like but the size of the rodent and prominent ears point towards it being a wood mouse. Come back next week for another #cameratrapquiz !
As it is Wednesday, it's time for another #cameratrapquiz!
