Wee Timorous Beastie?

A little wood mouse has found the bird food I put out on the lid of my compost bin, and here’s the odd thing:

He isn’t at all afraid of me. If I go and talk to him, he just looks me in the eye and carries on eating. If a bird approaches, however, he runs away – even if the bird is a blue tit smaller than him.

Maybe he recognises that blue tits are tougher than JJs.

The sparrows in my garden are frightened of them.
