Ginda:

In my experience voles are larger than mice and have a roundish, plump body'

My kittens found a new "outdoor toy" on Halloween. It was about the
size of a mouse, with short, grey mouse-like fur. But the tail was
shorter than an inch, and the face didn't look quite right for a mouse
- maybe the ears were too small? (The death-grimace didn't help the
ID.) Also, the rump seemed more square and chubby than the mice I've
seen.

Is this a vole?

They have also killed a chipmunk, so I'm optimistic that they will
improve the yeild of my currants next year. :)

A couple of hard frosts, and the leaves are starting to fall.
