It had also made a nest in the box where we keep the measuring gauge and after I released it from the tube, it disappeared into the nest.

Long-tailed Field Mouse
When I went to measure the weekly rainfall on the reserve, I opened the wooden box containing the measuring gauge and to my surprise, there was a Field Mouse which when I opened the box, ran into the measuring tube.
It had also made a nest in the box where we keep the measuring gauge and after I released it from the tube, it disappeared into the nest.

Lovely photo! Are they rare?
They are common, but mostly nocturnal, not often seen (unless they move into your house of course!).
Great photo. I only see wood mice around here.
Pablo.
