Say cheese! Precious moment fieldmouse appears to smile for the camera as he plays with dandelion

By Jamie Smith

Say cheese! This little fieldmouse looked more than happy to pose for the camera as he was snapped playing with a dandelion – that was almost as big as him.

The little rodent appeared overjoyed to be playing with the weeds – and was later captured playing on other flowers and even a ladder made from corn.

Pam Donovan, 60, took the adorable set of photographs during a workshop in Dorset.

She said: “The fieldmice are just too adorable. I couldn’t believe how lucky I was to get to photograph them.

“In the image with the mouse holding the dandelion seed, he is just so happy – his smile says it all.

“The mice themselves only weigh as much as a two pence piece, so the dandelion is really quite large in comparison to them.

“I take the pictures in the hope that they make someone else smile.”
