Revealed in every tiny detail: The secret life of harvest mice as never seen before

A stunning and rare insight into the secret tiny lives of adorable harvest mice is revealed in incredible pictures captured painstakingly over 12 months.

Photographers Jean-Louis Klein and Marie-Luce Hubert, both from the Alsace, France, spent the year snapping the furry subjects in a project that ended with their release into the wild.

Laying patiently in meadows and reed beds, the pair were able to capture the fascinating images.

One shows a mouse being suspended in
the air on the tails of his fellow critters. Another curious mouse was
spotted inspecting a camera while balanced precariously between two
sheaves of wheat.
