Field Notes

Description:

I found this guy in backstreet.
At first, it looked like a mouse. But this guy seemed like a blind.
I wonder if it is a mouse or a mole.

Looks more like a rat. Moles are much more stout and they have finer fur.

It's definitely not a mole, they don't have tails and you actually very rarely find them above ground! It does look like a juvenile rodent, my first thought was a field mouse of some kind? But it does look kind of big for a mouse. I'll have a think about it! Hope we can ID this :)
