Embracing Spring: A Charming Harvest Mouse Emerges from a Tulip in Sunny Bournemouth

This adorable little mouse could have been posing for the camera while sitting in this tulip.

The cute critter turned around and looked directly at the camera of photographer Miles Herbert near his home in Bournemouth earlier this month.

While he looks as snug as a bug in the plant, the harvest mouse wasn’t simply having a rest, but was doing something slightly more destructive.

The tiny creature climbed inside the tulip flower to eat the stamen inside before climbing back out and continuing its foraging.

Miles, 57, said: ‘The mouse looks so smug having climbed in there and got food.

‘She can be seen eating to stamens, then cleaning herself to remove some pollen and water before climbing out of the tulip.

‘Mice are the smallest UK rodent and the only British mammal to have a prehensile tail to help it climb up stalks and branches.

‘This agility makes it easy for them to climb the flower stems.

‘These endearing little creatures are so photogenic and so full of character.’
