We all have seen mice for sure! Sometimes, you may like them and sometimes you may not. However, it is really hard not to fall in love with tiny harvest mice! They are so much adorable you will not feel like taking your eyes out of them! Despite the fact that they have a very short life span of 6 months, they enjoy life the best! They have a prehensile tail which helps them grasp plant stems as they jump through long vegetations! They are so adventurous and you may not have heard of them before as no one has tried to photograph them before!

Luckily, the talented photographer Dean
Mason from Dorset, United Kingdom tried to capture them and result turned out
to be awesome! He has been a photographer since 17 and this is what he had to
say for us:

“I have been a dedicated wildlife
photographer for the past 20 years and enjoyed every single second of it.
Wildlife fascinates me for many reasons: It’s always challenging and I thrive
on a challenge. I love the peace and tranquillity of nature and the outdoors,
and I have always suffered from anxiety, so having spent 1000s of hours by
myself with nature and my camera equipment, I’ve always found it to be
therapeutic and calming.”

“I am the owner of Windows on Wildlife
hides and harvest mice photographic workshops in Dorset, UK,” Mr. Mason
said. “I breed captive-bred harvest mice and am fully licensed under the
new DEFRA animal welfare legislation to do so. We offer other wildlife photographers
the opportunity to photograph our harvest mice under controlled conditions,
however, our mice are free to do as they please – they are never handled so
never get stressed.”

“Harvest mice are … natural climbers,
so we give them various plants, stems, flowers for them to climb upon which
offers opportunities for photographic images.” Also, captive-bred harvest
mice are used by many wildlife centers for displaying to the public due to
their incredibly small size which makes spotting them in the wild almost
impossible.

“Photographing harvest mice is
fascinating. They can be incredibly quick and offer a challenge to
photograph,” Mr. Mason continued. “They are incredibly acrobatic and
fun to watch, always giving the aww factor! They are never shy to pose for the
camera and this is why hundreds of photographers take the opportunity to visit
us on our photography workshops in Dorset.”
