A mouse-proud rodent has been caught on digital camera tidying up a person’s shed.
75-year-old Rodney Holbrook, who lives in Powys, is a eager wildlife photographer.
But he obtained greater than he bargained for when gadgets in his shed have been mysteriously put away at evening.
“I’ve got a little box where I’ve got some nuts in that I can feed to the birds and I’ve got lots of other food in my bins and things,” he advised Sky News.
“One morning I went in early October and there were no nuts in there and I thought I put nuts in yesterday.”
After the nuts disappeared on a number of events, some gadgets began being put within the field.
“I had lots of bits of stuff I had on my bench all put in there and I thought I’m going to set up a night camera,” he mentioned.
“So I set that up and that’s where I get these incredible videos of the mouse doing what it does.”
The rodent – named Welsh Tidy Mouse – may not be a resident of the shed, in keeping with Mr Holbrook, however he is there tidying “every night”.
“I haven’t found out how it’s getting in so I don’t think it’s actually living in there. It could be,” he added.
While the tidy mouse could be the cleanliness wrongdoer, it is sometimes joined by some pals.
“It’s only the one doing it, but I’ve had one video where I saw two on there, or three counting the one tidying up,” Mr Holbrook added.
“He will eat the odd one or two nuts. I think what it’s doing is piling things on top of it to hide them. This is what I think is happening, to hide the nuts from other mice or anything that might want to get to his stash.”

Despite receiving recommendation about what Mr Holbrook’s resident cleaner may tidy subsequent, he’s eager for the mouse to hold on as regular.
“I’m just leaving it as it is. People have said to me about putting things in to get some sort of funny videos,” he mentioned.
“But I just leave it naturally. Just naturally let whatever’s going to happen happen.”
