[ES] Si este joven ratoncillo de campo (Apodemus sylvaticus, familia Muridae) no hubiera saltado justo cuando pasaba a su lado, ni me habría percatado de su presencia. Después se quedó inmóvil y me permitió hacerle un par de fotos. Procuré molestarle lo menos posible y le dejé en paz. Espero que encontrara a su madre enseguida.
