22. House Mouse Mus musculus

1970-1997

1980-2000

This species shows a distribution pattern with a distinct concentration of records in the urban areas. Probably a scarce mammal away from human habitation, although grossly under-recorded by naturalists and in need of a thorough survey before 2001. The apparent scarcity in the Peak District needs further investigation.
