Forgotten trove found when applying potash to some of the beds for this year's veggies. Lifting up the cover, I disturbed a fieldmouse, which leapt out in a panic with three young still attached to her, and then reappeared to try and face me off, to collect two more of her tiny offspring. They live in the fields - live and let live, so long as they aren't indoors, chewing through the wiring and the pipes.
