A disturbing day.

Today was a day for continuing to clear the bank. I knew that there were mammals living there as i had seen flashes of something running between the rocks. Today is disturbed a nest of what I think are harvest mice - golden brown white white under. 
You can just see the mother disappearing, note the white underneath.
She reappeared to collect her young, picking them up in her teeth. I was fascinated watching her and forgot photograph her again. 
You can see two of the young waiting to be rescued.
I also disturbed several toads and frogs..... and lots of newts. 
Toad.
But the job got done. Now i just have to renew the membrane and put it all back.
