I called her "Ratatouille"
For some time I suspected an unwanted guest in our garden. Well, I didn´t expect such: a brown rat (Rattus norvegicus).
One day I hat my first encounter, looking at her, when I planned to get out to fill up the feeding place for the birds. Instead I had to take my camera very quickly.
After that a hunt, lasting for several weeks, began. Don´t underestimate rats, they are very smart! Over the time I became personal and called her "Ratatouille" (Disney movie).
Since yesterday I call myself a successful rat hunter. R.I.P, Ratatouille ...

So cute!!!!!! Looks a bit like my old friend Brutus. :-)I love rats!
So sad that you had to kill her or him. :-(

It seems that Ratatouille was not really your friend, what I can understand very well....Good shot of the rat in your garden. Not easy to photograph as these animals are damned fast.

Ein Tier das nicht so oft fotografiert und gezeigt wird. Den senkrechten Halm in der Bildmitte hätte ich noch entfernt.Gruß Jürgen
