Mole.
There are no rabbits in this part of the country (north-western Zealand, where my family's summer house is located), but lots of hares. This guy comes around quite often to catch some sun on the lawn, and take a dump on the terrace.




We also have roe deer passing through our parcel, because unlike most others we let the hedgerow grow wild. I caught this family through the kitchen window just under 3 years ago.
In the summer one can barely see the field in the background through the foliage. But getting closer it's easy to see their path and hiding place.
I haven't seen the mum in quite a while (I think she may have gone to the Pleasant Deer Farm). But the two young ones are still regular visitors




Also, hedgehogs. Ever surprisingly noisy, but delightful creatures!
