Can anyone definitively identify these

[pinkpanther]

A friend suggested this might be a rat, whereas I was pretty sure it is a mouse? 

[lol-lol]

Agree looks like a mouse as tail is short for Rattus Rattus or Rattus Norvegicus.

Thank you for you replies

It looks more like a Bank Vole, short tail, small ears, rounded nose.

My cat has killed a couple of dozen young rats, just recently.

My garden looks like pet cemetry!

Mouse or vole. Do you live near a stream?

No - these are at a local country park (with a lake)

This is a young rat, note the long tail.

I did say Bank Vole not Water Vole which is about the size of my fist.

Still makes me think "vole", although that could be partly lack of scale.

Never that easy to identify. 

I catch various tyres at different times of the year but the annoying ones are those that the traps do not catch and the bait still gets eaten.

Looks like a vole to me.

It looks a bit like a field vole to me. I don't think it's something like a wood mouse as they have biggish ears and long back legs (they can jump enormous heights....as I discovered whilst showing one to my mum in her kitchen., it didn't go down well)

 

Although it might be a bank vole as I can see its ears and field voles have quite hairy ears I think. Definitely not a rat, unless it's been to "Cute School".

Does that mean red or white wine as an accompaniment...?

Good capture! Imagine this little furry would be super hard to catch still, or even be close enough for the shot  10/10 on the cuteness scale

Cheers - the light was fading, so needed a little help from the flash, which strangely enough didn't disturb it!
