BARROW   COMMUNITY   NEWSLETTER

The harvest mouse lives in hedgerows, reedbeds, long tussocky grassland, around woodland edges and on farmland. It is so-called because it was most often seen at harvest time when the mice were disturbed. They build a spherical nest of tightly-woven grass high up in the tall stems. It is the only British mammal to have a prehensile tail which can be used like a fifth limb to hold on with. These tiny mice love the smell of pollen and have been known to climb inside flowers to eat the stamens and there they often fall asleep.

Welcome to the community newsletter for Barrow-upon-Humber and Barrow Haven, both villages being just south of the Humber bank in North Lincolnshire.
We hope to inform and amuse the residents in these two villages and now that we have an online presence, we do hope that you will find our website interesting too.
