Looking out of the kitchen window today the children saw a tiny mouse
climbing, sitting for at least ten minutes in and then disappearing from,
some ivy and jasmine climbing that wall. When they called me to see it, I
thought they were going to show me an 'ordinary' mouse but this was tiny
with a very dark brown back and - given I had only a quick glimpse of it
moving - what I thought were quite large ears.


It would probably be a harvest mouse. They are tiny, have large ears
and vary in colour, including dark brown.

Very probable, I think. I've found one dark coated pic on Google but the
rest of those pages won't load. It was certainly not the honey coloured
coat type.
