Baby Harvest Mice are released back into the wild, Somerset, Britain - Sep 2009
A BERRY MICE LIFE
The future is looking berry nice for these tiny harvest mice.
The cute critters got their first taste of freedom, not to mention a juicy meal, after being released into the wild.
In total, five mice were all released into the countryside around Somerset following a successful breeding programme.
And after tasting the blackberries the youngsters all scampered off into the undergrowth and their new lives, which will hopefully include producing lots of offspring.
Harvest mice are the smallest and rarest mice in all of Europe.
Staff at the Secret World Centre have been playing their part to help secure the future of the miniature mice species by running a back to the wild breeding scheme in order to boost their numbers.
And after a baby boom earlier in the year, the adult rodents are ready to venture into the great outdoors.
In recent years life has been tough for the harvest mouse, due to modern farming techniques and loss of habitat.
It doesn't help that the mini mice grow to just 2in long and weigh less than a 10p piece.
However, according to Georgette Shearer of the British Mammal Society, the late harvest in some parts of the country has proven to be a real boon for the mice.
She comments: "They can have three litters a year and use cereal crops for nesting. You can imagine what happens to the last litter when the harvester arrives.
"Any delay in the harvest can be a good thing for them."

Japan Scientist Clones Frozen Animals
Teruhiko Wakayama, head scientist in the Laboratory of Genomic Reprogramming, working at his desk in the Riken Kobe Institute Center for Developmental Biology, in Kobe, Japan, Thursday, Nov. 13th, 2008. Dr. Wakayama has published a scientific paper explaining his process of cloning mice whose bodies had been frozen for as long as 16 years, he says it may be possible to use this technique to resurrect mammoths and other extinct species working from traces of their frozen DNA.

Animal Magic - The Work Of Richard Austin
ANIMAL MAGIC - THE WORK OF RICHARD AUSTIN
Richard Austin is known throughout the photography world as one of the best in the business at capturing unique animal images. So far he has released four books showcasing some of his work, including 'Animal Magic' and 'Dogs and Puppies'.
Richard started off as newspaper photographer, but whose brighter pictures began to creep into his work as they became a more popular alternative to the typical "gloom and doom" stories he found himself stuck with.
"I've always been interested in wildlife, ever since I was a kid. My heroes were the Daily Mirror's Arthur Sidey and the Daily Mail's Mike Hollist - they were really good animal photographers. I remember some cracking images that they took and I was always attracted to that."
Although he is perhaps more associated with cute images of piglets in deckchairs or lambs playing with ducklings, plenty of his photography is of animals in the wild in their natural habitats.
However, he is quick to point out the difference between his work and that of a National Geographic photographer for example:
"There's wildlife photography and then there's animal photography," said Richard, "I'm not the kind of photographer that sits down a rabbit hole for three days with a couple of cheese sandwiches and a flask of coffee. I've got to know that something's happening somewhere. The most I'll give it is an hour. And if nothing's happened I'll go and come back again later.
"There are some great wildlife photographers out there but I try to aim for more comical pictures that people might find more attractive"
This may dispel a few myths about photographing animals: while some purists will be making those cheese sandwiches and brewing that pot of coffee for t...
