British photographer makes tiny village for mice

A British photographer has built his own village complete with log cabins, post boxes and dining tables- for wild mice.

Simon Dell began making the mini shire in spring 2018 when he spotted a wild mouse in his back garden: "I could see the cats sitting just feet away from him at the other side of a fence.

"I piled some small logs around a box as a home for the mouse and covered it with moss and straw to give him a little shelter.

"I then put some wire fencing around the fence so there was no way the cats could get to the mouse.
