I spent a long morning lying flat in an Oxfordshire meadow to get this close to a harvest mouse balanced among the grass stems. These are the smallest rodents in Britain, weighing less than a two-penny piece, and they move fast. Getting a still, sharp portrait takes patience and a lot of quiet. This image captures something I rarely see — a moment of complete stillness, the mouse turned toward me as if curious. It is one of my favourite UK wildlife images. Printed to museum quality in fine art, matte, or semi-glossy, the texture of the fur and the delicate focus render beautifully at scale. Available as a nature photography print in three finishes.
