At first, Wales resident Rodney Holbrook wondered if fairies were cleaning out his backyard shed every night. But after setting up a hidden camera, he discovered the culprit was something far less magical: a mouse.
"I've got a little box where I've got some nuts in that I can feed to the birds and I've got lots of other food in my bins and things," the 75-year-old Holbrook says. "One morning I went in early October and there were no nuts in there and I thought I put nuts in yesterday. Then I had lots of bits of stuff I had on my bench all put in there and I thought I'm going to set up a night camera," he said. "That's where I get these incredible videos of the mouse doing what it does."
What’s especially odd about the mouse’s penchant for cleaning is it doesn’t even live in the shed, Holbrook says. "I haven't found out how it's getting in so I don't think it's actually living in there,” he says. "He will eat the odd one or two nuts. I think what it's doing is piling things on top of it to hide them.”
