A harvest mouse was found this morning at Ash Valley Golf Course, near the 4th tee. Unfortunately the creature was dead, but upon inspection there appeared to be no puncture marks from a predator. This may give some credence to the fact that there is a population of them here. A humane trap is being sought. The smallest British rodent and the only Old World mammal with a prehensile tail. Need to check on the numbers of these creatures within Hertfordshire. Few photos to follow.
